I'm late, but that is disappointing news for the Rav4. I'm starting to like their SUV design language as of late (Highlander/4Runner/LC). I was hoping the new Rav4 would look like a baby Land Cruiser, keeping with that smooth-but-still-boxy look, but without the 70K pricetag and all that off-road hardware, as I think the new LC looks really good. A more upright stance like the original Rav4.
