Love this idea ❤

Love this idea +2

This is a GREAT idea! And agree they are national treasures! I would also love to see then driving a base model now and then but I understand the manufacturers don't generally send then those.

Motormouth Redriven?

Takes a lot longer for used vehicle to depreciate that much these days.

Correct!

Watch your punctuation: "Shaggin' Wagon."😄

That is awesome!

Congratulations, so glad you guys are enjoying it!

Sorry… Q,C&Cs.

my sister bought KIA EV and she lost more than $30,000 on value within 2 year.

@@dark6c159 Yup, depreciation on EVs is horrendous, especially on certain brands.

Yes, good for emissions especially in congested areas. Taking it a step farther is a PHEV which compounds the benefits five or 10 times. My PHEV engine very rarely runs in congested areas or stop and go situations.

Hahahah. Hell no turn that crap off.

This is really why I love driving an EV, zero emissions while idling anywhere, and no main battery drain while we're at it.

I would expect it to get the new 5th gen hybrid system like the new 2025 Camry.

All Mazdas are like that!!! Not just the one model . I dislike it too, I’m not paying for an app to start my car!!

Thank you so much!

Bingo, we have a winner

That would drive up the purchase price and they don't want it any higher...

The OP fails to realize that these services have an ongoing cost for Toyota, that money has to come from somewhere.

2023 Rav4 and same. I am disappointed that the "help" button or whatever it's called will no longer work, but I'm not going to pay for another monthly subscription. It's irritating how everything is trying to go monthly subscription nowadays. I even had an underwear purchase where they wanted me to subscribe for a monthly pair. Like, WTF? Subscriptions are getting out of control.

@@katietatey They want the monthly revenue because it takes no effort on their part and its there every month. The vulture capital funds love recurring revenue.

GM did used to have an event each year that we (wife and I) enjoyed thoroughly in the early 2000s. It was called 'Autoshow in Motion'. You got to drive GM vehicles and the competition at the same event.

They do have such events. They’re called car shows. And there’s news releases and other media outlets that are used to show concepts. Manufacturers do gauge public reactions to new designs but they are usually from focus groups rather than the general public. Sometimes, manufacturers follow certain automotive trends so even if the public may view a new design negatively, a manufacturer may still do that design because others are doing it. Lastly, some of these new designs are created and fabricated long before it comes out to the public. They can’t make changes to this on the fly because most people may not like it. They would most likely release the new design and try to recoup the R&D costs from its sales while trying to understand public opinion, and opinion can change minute by minute so I can’t say I envy any manufacturer having to figure out a good balance between cost and public reactions.

@@housepianist Oof, forgot about the car shows, though I tended to think of those as being for the pros like Zack and Andrea. I agree that it isn't at all easy to predict what the public may like or dislike, although for a niche product like a Mini it might be a lot easier to determine by at least showing a select few what they're doing.

Not every car company goes to car shows

@@John_May. point taken 👍🏼

We ll done telling your wife to drive on a flat 🤣 My 2019 Rav4 didn't come with TPMS (glad it didn't then you have to reprogram sensors every seasonal tire swap). I bought an aftermarket TPMS set that screws onto tire valves for $80 CAD. Good to go 😊

In U.S. it is standard on every RAV4 (and every other Toyota model) and has been for many years. I can’t imagine not having TPMS! Is this just not a standard thing in Canada?? My freakin’ 2013 Scion xD had that…standard.

It was easy to fix the thermostat, not working properly. It was covered by my warranty

We weren't invited to the US event unfortunately. Canada didn't do one so we will have to wait for it to arrive in the press fleet in Vancouver.

Yes I do, it's all homemade.

@@andreaspencer9813 Yum, what meat mixture do you like to use? I've only tried all beef and didn't love the way it came out.

@@blissfuljoy6049 I only do all beef but the key is not letting them dry out. I film a pan half way with water while cooking the meatballs in the oven, half of the meatballs are covered in water. It's a little trick! I flip them halfway through cooking so each side has a brown top and then I cook them in the sauce for 5+ hours. They are tender and wonderful. They are a huge hit in our house.

@@andreaspencer9813 Awesome, thank you!

I wish I could say the same. My 2020 has been a damn pain in my ass lol

@@roxy819999 my 2020 Rav4 hybrid has been totally trouble free but I still just upgraded to a Rav4 Prime last week after waiting 7 months to get one.

@@roxy819999what’s wrong with it

BMW just announced it so we'll have to wait for it to become available to us. We may have to wait until it arrives in the press fleet here in Vancouver, that will take a while.

Yes, you are right, it is missing features other competitors offer. Pricing hasn't been announced yet but maybe Nissan plans to keep it on the lower side in the subcompact class. We'll see.... We are going to be driving the new Kicks mid July in California, looking forward to sharing more details with you.

Especially sideways.

Rav4 hybrids don't have starters or alternator. 😂😂😂 stop start feature doesn't bother me in the least!! 😂

Totally, go more on what consumers are saying. Sure brands like Land Rover are pretty consistently going to put out trash, but even brands with generally high quality can make crap, but then brand like Chevy that doesn’t have the best reputation can make cars with some good reliability.

V35A-FTS TTV6 has been out for 7 years, not 2. It's fine, they had a production issue with the machining robots. There are literally V35A-FTS with over 100k + miles on the road all around you

So small corporations don't put profit first? Consumers don't out their financial welfare first? Businesses that aren't financially competitive inevitably fail. Of course they aim to make profits. If Toyota's quality consistently starts to come down consumers can and will vote with their wallet.

Your comment 👎🏼

The Sorento PHEV starts at just under $49,000 CAD (MSRP) and the Outlander PHEV starts at just over $48,000 CAD (MSRP). Very little difference in starting price.

Speak for yourself. My ICE vehicle costs very little to maintain. Not sure what you were doing incorrectly with your ICE vehicle.

Who knows what the future holds, but so far this decade, sales numbers would disagree with you.
