Car Forum / Toyota / Toyota Cars / June 2007RavInvasion...
The past three or four weeks, I have been seeing a LOT of 1st and 2nd Gen Rav 4's in my hometown, and I had only noticed ONE prior to that. Last week I was at an intersection in the Supra, and *I* was the Odd Man Out. At each of the three other arms of the intersection there was a white 1st Gen Rav 4, and each of them was the EXACT same color, white with grey underbody cladding! I was about to speed dial my shrink or start looking for the pills... Either that, or I was expecting one to cross into another's path and have a Rav Accident... Also, there is one of those purplish two-doors, a green two door, a green four door and a blue four door. Considering what I'm doing for 'work' now, rounding one of these up might not be a bad idea. Except that they are all *MINT*! They look brand new, esp the three white ones! (Two were driven by 'little old ladies', one about 60 and the other in her 50's...) <...> > Considering what I'm doing for 'work' now, rounding one of these up > might not be a bad idea.

Actually, being around 50 or 60 does not make one old. My father would call such a lady a "young lady." Some day, so will you and I.

My wife drives a 2003 RAV4 and at 70k+ miles we're pretty happy with it overall. What's the deal with those really small early RAV4s? I haven't seen one in a while, but they look like 2 seaters? When were they made?

The first version came out IIRC in 1995, and was basically a Celica All-Trac with a small SUV body. They stayed this way for 3 more model years; the next version was similar. The version after that is when they started to bloat up, both in size and in standard equipment. They are all 4/5 seaters, the little 2-door model just looks (well, actually, it IS) really small... The latest version is almost the size of a 4-Runner, a 4-Runner is almost the size of a Land Cruiser, and the Land Cruiser is almost the size of the Titanic... > Vin - Menotomy Vintage Bicycles > http://OldRoads.com |
