Thinking about trading my Tc
i just found out a week ago that my wife is pregnant, so we are thinking of trading in the tc, so i need yalls opinion on the 2 options im thinking:
1. 2007 toyota rav4-sport V6 (very nice and powerful on the V6 engine)
2. 2007 toyota camry SE V6 (also very nice and powerful with V6 engine)
i think my wife goes more towards the rav4, but we are gonna go test drive both of them next week......we will let u guys know.

if i'm not mistaken tho, i think the SE has a sportier tuned suspension, and the V6 should be more than enough for you to zip around in. i vote for camry! and oh yea, CONGRATS!

FWIW, my wife has driven both (her brother is a Toyota salesman) and much preferred the RAV sport. YMMV. And I can attest that it's much easier to get kids in and out of car seats in a higher vehicle. And, since your wife will be carrying around your firstborn, which one would you rather see her drive in the winter? I'm not saying the Camry isn't safe (far from it), but it's hard to argue with an active full-time AWD system.

LOL about the xB suggestions...way to keep a baby safe.
You can't go wrong with either the RAV4 or the Camry V6. Both have the 3.5L 2GR-FE engine. I would get the Camry SE V6, it's roomy, powerful, and you would be faster than more than half the cars out on the road.
And don't forget the awesome gas mileage...Camry V6 is rated at 22/31mpg, the RAV4 isn't that bad with 22/29mpg.
Congratulations and goodluck!

Its bigger all around, someone said they saw Side Curtain Airbags, it has the 2.4L from Camry/tC...
When it comes down to it, the new xB was designed with the American consumer in mind, as oppsoed to the current xB which was designed for the Japanese and then ported over to the States. Im sure one of the reasons the current xB is bad in crashes is because the car designers didnt take into account the huge SUV's and trucks on the American roads since they are not as prominent in Japan as in the States.
