    If you want to post up at least get some facts correct first. child.
    Haha.....u r funny ..typical sales man voice ... Make a lot of noise but doesn't make much sense. Around 45k mark more ppl would go for Kluger rather than rav4. When crv heads on with Santa fe diesel. It loses every prospect... Selling well? U don't expect ppl to buy accord or accord euro any more do u?

    True to a large extent. Strangely enough, the offerings from today's SUVs have a fairly large price range, and probably one of the highest variance of any segment.

    However, I believe there's a perceived upper limit for mid sized SUVs to be 50K, and 7 seater SUVs to be upper limited at 65K, and anything above that seems to go into luxury range. At the lower end, it is now starting from 30K.

    Once the CR-V and CX-5 cross the threshold of 50K, it starts competing and cannibalising into the 7 seater mid level spec SUV (eg CX-9, Kluger, Santa Fe Elite) or the semi luxury variants (Murano, BMW X1).

    Honda is best to bring in a MDX to compete in the 45- 65K range, which is sorely missing from Honda's range now.

    On a separate note, if the RAV4 came in a hybrid engine, the case would have been more compelling, but without rear seat air and nothing really special (at least they have a v6 last model), I wouldn't know to what extent would a RAV4 sell other than being a toyota.

    tell me about it. Honda are so slow! we will get the diesel but prob not till this year to early next. It will come though. These things do happen. Look at Mazda, the cx5 only came in 2.0 and diesel for arounf 6 months. The key engine was the 2.5 in that time and they didnt have one.

    Took the family for a spin up to the hills on the weekend in the CRV loved it. Did really well with 4 adults and a baby.
