Just wondering............I find it interesting that the head of Toyota is more concerned about Hyundai than Honda...............
MasterBlaster said:Some people keep a car 10 years or longer. The resale shouldn't concern those people. Others keep a car until it needs some moderate maintainance like water pumps, or alternators, or starters etc.. If you are one of those type that sells your car after maybe 3-6 years then resale is a concern

We looked hard at the Santa Fe when we bought our Rav4. Had the Hyundai dealer been less of a moron we might have bought one. I called him and told him what the price was on our Rav4, and he offered list price on the santa fe.
Yeah, alright chief... :

This was a couple of years ago, during which time Hyundai has further improved its quality.Texas Proud said:Did you buy one of the new Rav4s Did you go with 4 or 6 cyl??

The Rav4 has been an exceptionally good vehicle and I highly recommend it. My dad even went out and bought one. Neither of us has had any problems and just routine maintenance.
The CRV at the time was just about to be redesigned and was a notch below the Rav. I believe that since that time they've come closer to parity. I think that honda has better motors and toyota does a better job with fit/finish/body matters. If I liked them both the same, I'd go with whichever one came up cheaper.
Strong recommendations for CarsDirect.com as well. They gave me a price for my wifes Lexus that I used to beat down our local dealer that doesnt work with CD, and the price they got me on my honda pilot was several thousand below what the local dealers would do.
