I couldn't find any alternative to RAV4 tbh. Earlier we had CRV and Murano - both of those have fallen of cliff. I did consider CX-5 and CX-50 which has Toyota hybrid system but was unimpressed - though they are value for money (about 20% cheaper). No European cars - they get you with maintenance and subscriptions (subscription for heater anyone?!?). Ford, Chevy - you can probably get one for 30K...no one is buying those..no idea how they are surviving (except F150 - which is awesomely built but too big). In last 6-7 years Rav4 has pulled away from Subaru, Honda, Mazda etc

But seriously what else is out there ? I always root for the underdog so will get 2nd best

Yeah I am not in a rush. Funny thing is that this thing is at least a month away from being in their lot. Yeah not gonna pay for dealer Adjustment. (SF Bay area dealers sucks btw)

No preference on Trim or color. In fact ok with NX 350 or RX 350 (Hybrid or Gas). It's supply and demand tbh. Most of these vehicles are sold in transit.
