MEAN front end... crappy rear end.

Still don't like the position of the toyota logo...

See, now I'd actually wanna be seen in that Rav4. I second the position of the Toyota symbol ... tacky, IMO. ... At refresh time they'll probably move it down like the Gen 5.5 Camry.

The wheels looks soo beautiful. But the front end..
Its like a sexy lady with an ugly face!

[repinS]

That's not half bad.

PRetty decent overall- and it looks like the damn thing is finally getting a legitimate rear bumper!

I think hte front looks pretty bitchin personally.....I do see the BMW similarities from the side..andthe tourage similarities on the rear.........but...overall its all right...however..is this more of 4runner now? Where is toyota going?

4Runner & Sequioa are a truck platforms. Rav4 and Highlander are car platforms.
Ride, height, and pulling power will be the obvious differences.

The front end is kinda evil looking..

Looks much damn better than the current Rav4.

[echo_hrs]

Looks very "x5"

Finally, a RAV4 a typical-male might consider buying! Have u ever taken a seat in one of the older models? Like sitting in Cattle-Class on a plane!
If the '06 is bigger, more powerful and handles better than the current model, I'll strongly consider it for my next purchase (which happens to be in about a year .
(But I'm still wondering about the next Highlander model update!)
Cheers!

It's like a cross between a Dodge Ram and an RX-8. Toyota still doesn't seem to quite have a "direction" for their styling yet.
