There is definately something to be said for a well sorted rear wheel drive set up, and Nissan's FM platform is beautifully balanced. You could not help but grin, throwing the G into a corner and then powering out, where as cars like the Accord, Maxima, Camry (zzzz) negotiate, the G attacks, of course the very nice young lady at carmax, was not amused.
As four 4 CyL, The Sonata Turbo comes to mind, as does the CC Turbo (VW) both are spry and fuel efficient. Fortunatley for me my commute is a short one.
One of the cool things about the RAV4 V6 is that it only gives up 1 mile per gallon to the 4 for almost 100 more HP, amazing feat. I wil give toyota that one.
