Yeah, RX won’t happen. I dunno. I shouldn’t really care, it’s going to be her car and she likes it.Tar wrote: ↑Wed Jul 13, 2022 11:11 amOoohhh, that sounds nice! The new ones are being built in Ontario on the Rav platform, and they're only a few months old so I'm betting they will need a year or two to sort out all the small issues. The older ones on JPN build and probably built as well as Chris's 4R. My wife loves bombing her T-Reg over pot holes and speed bumps, and that thing is tight as a drum, but not everyone wants to do a new water pump every 5 or 6 yrs. I bet the RX is a beast and better suited to your landscape. You guys should take one for a spin.

Not really. The Venza has a much higher load floor in the hatch and fake capacitive touch buttons everywhere. It also is heavier so performs worse. And looks worse.
Eh

Venza does not feel expensive inside at all. Overall Honderp products are better inside IMO than Yoda. Those are just my 2 cents.
the of a shitbox basic bitch CUV egg for another slightly different egg seems like a pretty colossal waste of money and effort. Like a Rav4 and a CRV are the same exact thing, They're both very depressing.

Those larger SUVs may have better capacity to take on potholes and not tweak a link arm or whatever. RX and MDX are probably the most reliable in the segment and get like 19 mpg avg. I guess they're too big andJohnny_P wrote: ↑Wed Jul 13, 2022 1:42 pmYeah, RX won’t happen. I dunno.

Someone in my neighborhood just bought a metallic green one. Didn't know they made them in that color, but it looks surprisingly decent.
Really not that bad for what it is.

use that for the time being until you get something you want or perhaps move out of that parkbyfeel hellhole and get yourself a 5/7 car. That is if you're still on that route.Johnny_P wrote: ↑Wed Jul 13, 2022 1:42 pmYeah, RX won’t happen. I dunno.
