Toyota RAV4

The coolest compact SUV on the market. It has anything anyone can want in an SUV. To start, it looks great. It's got 4 wheel drive so heavy snow, dirt, mud, sand, water, etc. are laughed at by the "Mighty RAV", a common nickname. Under the hood is a powerful Inline 4 cylinder engine, which is commonly mistaken for a V6 by passengers or onlookers because of the speed and sound of the engine. The 3rd generation models supposedly have an optional V6 engine, however, it is not confirmed because they are so fast that you can't even see them. The RAV4 will also last forever because it has the Toyota logo proudly plastered all over it. Also, girls love RAV4s. If they aren't behind the wheel themselves, they are all over guys that drive them.
