I was standing in front of a parked SUV the other day and I swear its grille was chest-high. I'm 5'4", I'd definitely not survive if one hit me.
Some years back, a couple of my friends drove Toyota Rav 4s. They were cute little all-wheel drive cars with three doors. This article tracks how the Rav 4 "evolved" into the ugly, massively bloated vehicle it is today. https://www.carwow.co.uk/toyota/rav4/news/8854/toyota-rav4-generations-evolution
Oh God the old RAV4s were so terrible. I used to sell cars and we had a RAV4 on our Toyota lot that was used and the thing was so terrible it got returned twice. I own a current RAV4 and it is a wonderful vehicle and it is not huge not massive and not bloated at all.
Yeah… idk how old you’re talking but I’ve got a 3rd gen with the v6. It’s pretty much the best car I’ve owned. Ugly, but awesome. Oh and only 1 mpg less than the i4 at the time.
Yeah the one he's talking about is like the first and second gen typically the first end. 3 doors tiny not much power.
