This was just posted on Truck Trend's blog: The RAV4 maintains all interior and safety enhancements for 2008. All models now feature driver and front passenger seat-mounted side airbags and first- and second-row side-curtain airbags with roll-over sensor as standard equipment. RAV4 models carry a base MSRP that ranges from $21,100 for the base model 2WD four-cylinder to $26,670 for the 4WD Limited V6. Total RAV4 average MSRP increases $150 or 0.6 percent. Link to Source |

Why does the RAV4 have no satellite radio option or Nav system option? This, to me, is a gross oversight.

amazing why we dont have projector headlamps, pushbutton start, or the antenna on rear, not to mention the navigation system http://www.toyota.co.uk/cgi-bin/toyota/bv/generic_editorial.jsp?BV_SessionID=@@@-  1689242668.1186254556&BV_EngineID=cccfaddljemflficfngcfkmdfkidfgf.0&navRoot- =toyota_1024_root&portal=null&nodiv=TRUE&edname=RV4_gal&catname=%2ftoyota_1024_r- oot%2fmain_nav%2fpageTopNav%2fZone+RAV4&menuid=45829&zone=Zone+RAV4&skin=-1undef- ined&id=RV4_gal

It needs to open up like the new CRV. If Honda offer a V6, I'm headed there.

Ever since HID healamps entered the marketplace there have been complaints, justifiable complaints, by oncoming drivers. We all already know, or certainly should know, that HID headlamps are brighter, offer a wider spectrum of light, closer to actual sunlight, and provide more lumins/watt than their halogen counterpart. So the "race" was on. First, "shading" appertures to provide SHARP high level (elevation) lighting cutoff. Then "auto-leveling" to compensate for vehicle loads and help keep the HID lighting out of the eyes of oncoming drivers. Then Bi-xenon. Now we have projector headlamps since they provide a more tightly focussed, focussing, HID forward low beam lighting. Also with internal apperture upward "shading", auto-leveling, swiveling in tight low speed turns, etc. I'm not sure that last, swiveling, would have been practical absent projector lenses. I just retrofitted my '01 Mustang convertible with HID projection headlamps purchased on Ebay. Not as good, not as "broad" light coverage overall as my '01 RX300 factory HIDs, but a definite improvement. Now I have to add a relay and maybe a diode or two so the low beam HID projectors remain on in high beam mode. |

In both the US and Canada. Changes are minimal. No exciting new equipment and no changes to the look, inside or out.

Replying to: cbmorton (Aug 16, 2007 12:04 pm) If they don't, I can't believe Toyota offers a really tricked out RAV4 in Europe (Rav4 XTR) which has nav and push button start and no spare on the rear door, but not in the US Honda CR-V has Nav |
