A white RAV4 prime. It's a hybrid with a 40 mile-ish plug in electric engine. I've had it about a week and didn't use gas at all until yesterday, when I had to drive to Seattle. I didn't notice when exactly it switched off of electric, but it was definitely at least forty miles. My combined mileage to Seattle was 56.8. The return trip, fully gas powered, was 42.6, almost completely on the interstate. I'm quite happy with it. Smiler

Yay!

I got my first hybrid a few months ago (Kia Niro) and have really been pleased!

I saw one of those in a parking lot today and pointed out how nice it looked! I remember thinking it's just the right size, too.

Congratulations! ThumbsUp

Apparently they're only being sold in California and Oregon right now.

It looks like it’s about the size of my Toyota 4Runner. Just the right size for 4 people with two dogs in the back.

I traded it in when I bought the truck. I kind of miss it.

I considered the Rav4 Prime, but those in Denver are gone.
I like Bob's Rav4. It is gas powered only.
Was considering replacing the Jeep I sold, but I don't really need a second car. Did not use the Jeep enough to keep it.

Cool.

I’m thinking about a hybrid Highlander. It would be able tow my camping trainer.
