    I have to admit smiling a bit. Now if they could do something similar for the Prius.

    Decent but I liked
    better. I'm not sure it aired as an ad though. I started a thread about it at Toyota Sienna "Swagger Wagon" music video | PriusChat but the link got busted during the software switchover.

    There was a TV ad campaign that centered around the Sienna being a Swagger Wagon. But,to me, the above music video is way better.

    Well that is what my wife promised 36 years ago and her wish granting is just as skilled. <grins>

    Yea . . . when the guy was about to get his wish, it certainly shouldn't have been worrying about belly fat. I'd best not say where my mind went ... ;)

    Well compared to the Prius c, Game of Life commercials, these RAV 4 commercials seem downright fantastic. However, compared to the Game of Life commercials video of my dad colonoscopy seem better.

    Also...it is about time Toyota abandoned the huge spare tire attached to the tail gate of The Rav 4. I mean it's NOT 1938 anymore. The Tire encased in a cover? Well is that really necessary on a refined small SUV such as the Rav4?
    Good Move on removing the "Spare Tire".

    I don't "love" this commercial, but it's trying to be entertaining. There were a few "smile" moments if it never really made me laugh.

    It's CLEARLY an improvement over recent Toyota outings from a commercial POV. Hope it marks a trend.

    Hmm... I didn't know 2014 Rav4 uses "alternative" fuel. I thought it is just a regular gas car.

    It can be more of a curse than a blessing.
