The AWD Suzuki SX4, BTW, has a partial-answer, even at its very low price (which undercuts even the Subaru Impreza). It comes with a standard 3-position electronic-switch, which chooses between FWD, AWD, and AWD Lock for tough conditons. FWD, of course, disconnects the rear drive-shafts, freeing some of the drag and helping power and mileage. But, of course, even with less drag, the extra weight of the AWD components is still there.

Honestly it might be ugly and average but I don't find it having any glaring faults. Will sell fine.

Yet the Rav-4 won the last big comparison and you are comparing a brand new car to one 5-6 years old:egads. Honda is at least getting ugly right but the competition today is so fierce not sure loyal fans are enough anymore. They won't offer a V-6 in it b/c the RDX is going to be now CR-V based with the 3.5 V-6.

Toyota upped the transmission on the Tundra mid-cycle, upped the transmission on the 2009 Avalon from 5 to 6 speeds, Lexus gets a. 6 speed in the RX but the Highlander gets a 5? They use the same engine.
As a matter of fact, the Highlander 2.7 gets a 6 speed.
The point is, the Rav still comes with a 4 while the CRV has a 5 and the reviewer states that 6 speeds are now the norm?
Dumb review.

Toyota "used" to be notorious for upgrading the powerplants in their cars anytime.

To dismiss an entire review b/c you don't agree with one point, a point explained by others means the post could be interpreted as "dumb" not the review.
