If you use the links in the bar to the left, it shows the model they tested was a fully loaded "Rav4 L" which had a MSRP of about $31,000. Great vehicle yes...but at that price it is beyond entry level by a large margin. You can get a TrailBlazer SS with GM's discounts for not much more than that.

Also, remember Toyota doesn't offer too many different combinations of option packages. They list certain things as 'options' but good luck trying to find a stripped down version with limited options, especially at launch.

If you want a 6 cylinder with AWD, expect to be paying close to that $30,000 mark, esp if you want a Rav4 L.
