Well as I said a few months ago, my sources were correct the Rav4 is going to get bigger,

That is the butt-ugliest thing I've seen in a long time. It' looks as if they just grafted an entire, second front and rear to the litte ute.

Actually, Toyota has posted pics of the euro-spec Rav (from Frankfurt?). See them, here:

http://www.toyota.com/vehicles/futur...epage_RAV4_txt

I think the link you posted is likely NOT going to be a production model (at least, I hope not. My wife has an 01' RAV4 and I'd like her to buy another one, if they're nice-looking and bigger).

The Euro-spec is more likely the close-to-final form for sale here in the States. Although, the caveat to these pics is that "Prototype shown, production model may vary."

Hey Jeff!!! I agree. The current is a vast improvement over the first generation's looks. I was hoping that Toyota wouldn't go too wild on the new redesign.

The Euro spec version is much nicer than the linked pics, at the start of the thread.

Don't forget to post some of your Chili's meet pics to the photo gallery!

It's like the SUV version of Avensis Verso.
