Most of you are wanna be and nothing else. BTW This engine and the low tech old technology 4 gear box gives better gas mileage and more power than the latest and greatest from the CRV, VW and the Subaru. So technically Toyota old tech is far superior to the latest from Honda, VW and Subaru... so go back and sulk and bitch about how Toyota is more expersive to maintain than the others.

This is blantant cut cost measure. If you are looking for SUV go for CRV. Dont get me wrong I am not a Toyota Basher. hey I own a toyota( see my nic) but one cant keep quite when they say "Toyota says the 4-speed transmission mated to this engine is a new unit that is more compact, lightweight and efficient compared to the outgoing model". Yes I agree but 5 speed with an extra ratio will be even better. It sound more like "we are cutting cost so take it or leave it" . To make matter worse...... 4 speed mated to 2.5 cc engine is un heard of in this generation.!!!!!!!. Wake you Toyota!!!!!!. 4 speed auto is not exceptable from Toyota.

I'm Mr TOYOTA.. I like MONEY... I don't like spending my money for something unnecessary like a 5 or 6 speed gearbox for my mid range models like the RAV4.. I don't even think of hooking a 5 or 6 speed gearbox on the low end models like the VIOS... This is because I like MONEY... and I am Mr TOYOTA... And also, to all my beloved toyota owners, please come oftenly to the service centres so that I can take more of your MONEY for the genuine spare parts that costs a fortune to buy... THANK YOU...
