Toyota, bring us a 3rd Gen RAV4 w/ a 2.2L D4D engine! That is more important to me than any other configuration change on the RAV4.

What happened to the spare hanging off the back? Where is Toyota offering the tire repair kit in place of the rear door spare???

[krp]

The picture shows the European spec RAV4 with the top of the line 2.2 D4D engine (at least here in Germany). Without the spare tire, run-flat tires are standard. The 2.0 gas and base 2.2 diesel engines have the spare on the rear.

That looks a thousand percent better without that spare tire hanging off the back.

That spare tire has been an eye-saw to me since the inception of the RAV model.

I've seen so many Rav's with bashed in tailgates because the spare hangs out too much. The early RAV's had really NO rear bumper at all.

I'm not an advocate of Run-Flats.

But...whatever floats your boat. Or Toyota's boat I should say.
