Come on guys, stop screwing around!

Seriously though, those newer RAV4s are very nice. Rode in one with my in-laws while they were test driving, very nice little SUV. It is currently the only Toyota I would consider buying.

Yeah I was against it at first, but agreed to at least test drive one with the wife because ultimately it was her car. Well, you know the results, lol. It rides real nice and the Limited offers oodles of options.

Grats on the yota! The bigger v6 they have is a pretty strong motor. Camrys are pretty quick for a sedan

I thought the Patriot was the Caliber and the Journey was the using the Grand Caravan chassis?

The Patriot/Compass are based on the Caliber, which was a variant of the Mitsubishi GS design (from back when DaimlerChrysler was teamed up with Mitsubishi and Hyundai).

The Journey shares its body with the Avenger/200, which was based originally on a Mitsubishi design called JS... which is just a heavily modified GS.

Had to look up the Grand Caravan for its chassis. Looks like from my reading that the Grand Caravan uses its own design and doesn't like to share with anyone else.

Except for Volkswagen haha. Though their cooperative effort has ceased after only a couple years.

Germans? I thought they just took what they wanted and shot anyone in their way. My wife is a 100% full-blooded German, and she will attest to that.
