    Have You Seen 06 Rav4

    Hey have you seen the 06 Rav4?

    It looks like a Mercedes and has the same 2.4L 166hp engine thats the manual and the 3.5L 268hp 245ft.lbs. but it sucks because it has no manual transmission.

    Even my dad got dissapointed because he doesnt drive A/Ts ever he likes manual only when he got his IS300 hit he rented an S2000 even if its costed him 1200 dollars for 2 weeks from a friend.

    I just hate how all this new cars are coming out all powerful but in a F1 style paddle shifting which is not bad but I'd much rather drive the usual 5-6 speed manual tranny cars, more fun and skill.

    the 06 rav 4 is what toyota is using to rasie the benchmark for others since the forester,cr-v and escape(and siblings) are already up there so now that they just upped the ante it only means they are going to have to work harder.the new style of shifting has its godo things and bad things, soem good things to come out of it are the way they have the ability to slow down engine speed to allow for enhanced traction at all speeds, and turns. truth be told you actually get more out of it.

    hey do you think the 3.5V6 will have a 5-6 speed manual tranny?
    if it does i'll buy this instead of the Impreza because it has 7 seats
