I remember if there was a new model Falcon and Commodore that after 90,000 sales I would be seeing them everywhere. The RAV must be so generic and bland that they are practically invisible.

By comparison the new/current model Ranger has sold about a third more (125,000) in the last two years and I see them everywhere. I know I have a brand recognition bias, but that RAV4 is a mystery to me!

My Syd travels I see heaps of the fugly things,RAV's.
Amongst the countless SUV/CX5/9's/Kias/Hyundai you name it.
Few more Everests nowadays but nothing OTT compared to Ranger/Hilux and the usual suspects.

Was it just price that you went for the LS?, next step up better wheels interior, seats etc , models are different over here but I thought the next step up was better value?
