Rav-on; it s a crazy feeling. (Or is that Oh what a crazy feeling ?) Toyota has unveiled the third gen RAV4, leaving its competitors singing the mo' better blues. The new version of Euroland's most popular SUV is just like the previous version, except more so. The cute ute in a Highlander suit gets bigger, butcher (if Toyota doesn t say so itself), more capable (new 4WD system), cleaner (available D-4D Clean Power diesel engine) and more practical (the rear seats fold flat at the pull of a lever). Equally important, the RAV4 s rear tire stays glued to the rear gate, helping to maintain the obscene tire cover industry.
