Did he even check out the domestic competition. In my opinion, if you don't need the third row of seats, an Escape is a much better buy than a RAV4. I've driven both (a 2001 Escape owned by my Sister and a 2007 RAV4 owned by my SO), and I prefer the Escape and it is thousands less expensive. Before you start telling me how much more reliable the RAV4 will be, stop. It is not true. Even Toyota's In House Magazine, Consumer Reports, gives the Escape a better than average reliability prediction. To be clear - There is nothing wrong with a RAV4. It is a decent vehicle, just way over priced. Ed
