"Power. Pure and simple. RAV4's 3.5 Litre 24-Valve V6 generates a head-snapping 269 horsepower while going from zero to 100 km/h in 6.7 seconds. Equally impressive, equipped with advanced technology like Dual Variable Valve Timing with intelligence, RAV4 also delivers excellent fuel economy and an Ultra Low Emissions Rating."

I still think the new RAVs are fugly though. Too fat-arsed for me. Just my opinion.

My brother has a gen1 and an '04 Sienna. Toyota builds good vehicles.
