I noticed while at the State Fair of Texas, Toyota decided to build yet another CUV. They call it, the Toyota Corolla Cross, and it is pretty much exactly the same as a RAV4 with a different nose.
Oh, it's a tiny bit smaller (2" wheelbase, 5" overall) with a smaller engine, but it's dumb.

Seeing them side-by-side on the show floor you couldn't see a significant difference. I hate that they're just tacking "Cross" onto the Corolla name. Just lazy all around.

Also, the Hummer EV is ridiculously huge:


Not for this thread, but I really like the new (real) Bronco, and the Lightning is niiiiiiiiice. Didn't really see anything else that appealed, but I only explored one auto building before my 2 ladies decided they were done.

Corolla Cross starts at $22k msrp
RAV4 starts at $27k msrp

I can only assume one is for those who can't quite swing the payments for the other.

I had to zoom in to read the "I identify as a f-150" decal on the back. Not an indictment of you, mostly my eyes suck and it may be hard for others to spot too.

OK, see, that is clearly just taking the piss (than you for that phrase, GB), and I can't hate that. Laugh at it, sure.

Eh? Is it that text I can't quite make out on the decklid? Something about "a F150".

2.0L v. 2.5L. Obviously the RAV4 is the high performance one.

They're efficient, you can fit the car seat and the dog in the back, and can pop a curb and ford a river. I used to make fun of them, too, but now I have back and knee problems from getting in and out of sports cars...

Mazda has three models though CX-30, CX-5, CX-50. The 30 and 5 are actually closer together than the 5 and 50

Depends on the type of car seat - the CX-30 has a shorter wheelbase than the 3 hatch so it's actually worse for rear facing seats. The Corolla Cross

I'd imagine another big difference is the Rav comes standard with a no-poo poo AWD system with torque vectoring and all that jazz, while the Fat Corrola probably has FWD standard and a lovely off-the-shelf front-biased AWD system optional.

That's fine, but they don't ALL need to be CUVs. GM has like 6 just in the Chevy brand. Varying sizes, but c'mon..

And why couldn't they just offer the various systems on the RAV4 rather than a whole 'nother nearly indistinguishable car?
Not to mention just slapping the Corolla name on it.
To be fair, they did have that Corolla tall wagon in the '80s didn't they? So maybe not wholly unprecedented.

The Rav4 does come in FWD versions (with the 2l engine) in some markets and I'll bet the AWD system is exactly the same on both cars.
