Yep, I have to agree with you. The new front grill is a no go for me. I'll give it a chance though. Maybe I'll warm up to it......

It looks just like all the other RAV's to me (ugly) except it doesn't have that stupid spare tire on the rear door.

What I have always wondered is how the heck anyone can see out the back window of a RAV with that spare tire taking up most of the rear window.

I don't mind the grille appearance, though the opening is too large for good gas mileage on the HW. I hate the Blind spot in the rear qtr window, the forward swept design on the C pillar is over used and dated and anti-functional AFA visibility. Gives the Rav a girley FAG look; maybe thats the intent. Post-menopausal approval! The 05 was a better overall balance. IDK ...The newer RAVs are too big and heavy, for current climate moving the WRONG direction. If you want a big SUV buy a freakin Highlander - If you cant afford NEW Highlander buy used. I want the rav to SHRINK back into a more compact design like the 05. At least Toy can feel safe that the Honda CRV is the most hideous thing on the planet. The black ones look like hearse flower cars

Koreans have the big 2 japs beat on styling - they utilise the top Italian studios etc., Not some lame shot CALTY

Hey that tire is the rear bumper! How bout a REAL, functioning rear bumper toyota instead of a block of styrofoam sheathed in vinyl.- maybe the insurance cost would come down! Freaking airbags up your arse - put real bumper on a car damnit!
