The problem with the v6 rav4 is that is kills any fuel economy by adding the V6. This is normally a big consideration for people looking at small SUVs/cross-overs (otherwise they'd be looking at regular SUVs).
This seems to be a major problem with Toyotas right now. The base model is fuel efficient yet underpowered. The turbo versions are faster but the fuel efficiency is totally killed. Unlike vehicles like Mazdas, they haven't worked out a good compromise yet.
That being said, the Toyota Rav4s are cheap and have great lease rates.
