Sure you have; that 'good lord' covered all of page 105 AND 104.

Good Lord.

Yes, Yeti's prices are abominable.

In reading the Press release, Toyota's web site and the first review on the Rav4 Prime, a plug-in hybrid. This Rav4 Prime is the fastest 4 door in Toyota's auto lineup other than the Supra. I will say it is not bad looking since it does not have the predator mouth. One thing that I compared and am not surprised by since you have the electric assist system is that 0 to 60mph is 5.8 seconds compared to my 2008 Chevrolet Trailblazer SS AWD with a V8 that goes 0 to 60 in 5.7 seconds. Toyota Rav4 Prime is 90 MPGe versus my 12 MPG. WOW very impressive. My sister and her best friend and room mate are both on site nurses that travel all over for in home care. As such putting on 30 to 45,000 miles a year is not uncommon for them. While she loves her Buick CUV, it is time to replace it and I have to say that it is hard to not recommend this AWD that just beats everything else out there in it's class. My email to my sister posted here for you all to read. Other than the Toyota Supra sports car, this is the fastest 4 door Toyota they have and it is no slouch with 302HP. It is worth a look as a replacement for your CUV’s you have. Battery warranty is 10 years or 150,000 miles whichever comes first. Assembled / built in Alabama from parts from Canada, Mexico, Japan and the US. Based on the reviews, the Rav4 Prime XSE fully optioned including the weather package has the following: 9” Audio Plus system with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay Heated steering wheel Heated and cooled front seats Heated rear seats Parking assist HUD – color heads up display Adaptive front headlights – Means as you turn, the lights turn with you so you have maximum visability at night. Rain sensing wipers with deicer JBL premium audio Panoramic moonroof Hands-free power-hatch actuation Plus more A True Performer Tuned with responsiveness in mind, RAV4 Prime's powertrain rockets this SUV from 0 to 60 in an estimated 5.8 seconds. Its Electronic On-Demand All-Wheel Drive is able to send power to all four wheels, so every press of the throttle produces instant torque and thrilling acceleration. The available steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters help put this power directly into your hands, delivering even more exhilaration every time you get behind the wheel. A Driver's Space RAV4 Prime's cabin was tailored for the spirited drive, with everything designed to help keep you in full control. An available all-new 9-in. multimedia display places your entertainment, maps and more at front and center. Loaded with tech features, RAV4 Prime comes standard with Amazon Alexa, 65 as well as Android Auto™ 63 and Apple CarPlay® 58 compatibility. And the available Head-Up Display (HUD) puts key driving information right on the windshield, so you can keep your eyes on the road ahead.

The domestics need an answer for the RAV4 Prime STAT.

They clearly are hitting a sweet spot for many who want AWD, CUV and Fuel Efficiency with performance. Be interesting to see what GM, Ford and FCA respond with as currently they have nothing to compete against this.

Even I havent got a "good lord" from Balthy... LOL

They certainly did their homework to make sure the RAV4 would sell ridiculous numbers worldwide, though the Corolla is still far and away ahead of it and the FSeries. I question the wait period for the prime as when my wife was interested in the hybrid it was at least 4 months for the XSE. Apparently the vast majority of RAV4 sales in Europe are the hybrid.

Could use one of those... ?

^ Car full, indeed.

BE CAREFUL OUT THERE

Yuma AZ 1937 :

Took the steering wheel, column, speedometer/gauge unit out, then took the dash substructure out. Going to clean/sand and 'jamb' spray around the ashtray & glovebox, so when those are opened, it's finished. Also going to brush-paint the firewall behind it, so I can permanently bolt the dash structure back in. Down the road the dash tops and a few other like pieces will get professionally painted. Interior is going to black. Paint tomm. EDIT :: prepped , primed & sprayed 1st coat this morning. Unfortunately, I noticed soon after that it was speckled with pollen. Have to wait 48 hrs, then do a quick 600-grit light sand & spray a 2nd coat inside. EDIT 2 :: resprayed, looks good. Worked on cleaning the ashtray & it's slide, did some more sound deadening, (searched for my radio/ashtray bracket to no avail), brush painted the upper inside firewall. Had to trim the corners of a fiberglass glovebox from my parts car- for some reason it would not seat all the way in the dash opening. Weird, but it fits now.
