This would work on a Rav4, especially with Toyota's new design trend with big lower grills.


Rav4 has to be a little bit more safe and utilitarian... and then they have NX for rest of the world. So far they have not brought any Japanese outrageous styling clues to western markets... besides, while better than Rav4, regular (not TRD) styling is still pretty boring, just like rest of their Japanese premium Toyota's, it has nothing on Lexus which has far deeper design.... here they limit themselves to more interesting front, back and premium but not luxury interior... Harrier for instance has a lot of Rav4 parts inside.

The Japanese definition of Elegance is a little different...
