Seriously.

My cousin bought a Honda Pilot and never could get the baby seat to fit in the car without going through the truck - f'ing stupid design! (They recently bought a Tahoe - solved that problem )

My dad loves his Scooby (that's Subaru for those of you who don't know nottin') and my future brother-in-law just picked up an Outback to haul his surf board back and forth to the beach. My sister also has an Impreza sedan that's she's happy with.

Never had any personal experience with the Rav-4, but if they have a hybrid version (don't know if they do) stay away. My fiancee's hybrid Camery was horrible and we ended up trading it in for a real car (Infiniti G35).

Yeah not sure were people get that Toyota is bullet proof, maybe the Sr5 days of the 80's and early 90's with 0 options and simple simplistic engine designs that produced #@#@ for power and sounded like a lawn mower with the muffler knocked off.

I advise you TB to actually surf the forums for each make and you will find there technical problem forum section just as post filled and in most cases worse then any of the American makes! They are living off past reputation, they are no better then gm or ford and are now selling their cars just like them adding huge rebates basically killing that resale value they always bragged about!

If it was me i would go with a Subaru, but as you can tell the Toyota blinders are not pulled over my eyes and pretty much think everything they make is a boring hunk of trash!
