With great power comes great responsibility. Is that not what Aunt Mae says in Spider-Man?

Well, I sure do not have much power, but I do feel responsible for helping people research the vehicles they may end up buying at some point. I know it is not easy doing car research, and anything I can do to make that part easier I am happy to pitch in.

I can do that through my “Toyotajeff” YouTube channel and through my Torque News column.

Here the choices. Blizzard Pearl. Blueprint. Magnetic Gray Metallic. Silver Sky Metallic.

I think they’re all terribly boring- like everything else in the road. For my 2020, I opted fir the CLE rather than the XSE just so I could get lunar rock. I added black gloss wheel covers and blacked out the emblems. Love it.

Hi,
Great article Jeff. I think on the streets of Gotham or the Boulavards if Brooklyn to The Grand Concourse of the Bronx to the Kissisko Bridge and Kew Gardens Queens oh and the 6th borough Yonkers it's a tough choice between the blue or white. Let's go Places !

I have the Silver Sky Metallic, which looks awesome! The blue and dark gray don’t show the contrast well enough and I think the white and black is too much.

My favorite color use to be dark metallic blue. Or Toyota’s Blueprint. But I want to do my part for global warming and go for the white color. Having a 2005 white Rav4 it is a lot cooler in the hot summer sun than my black 2000 Corola. So my choice is Blizzard Pearl. WHITE for me .Have a nice day Harry B.

Ty for your review.Jeff!I I went with the Silver Sky Metalic and it shines like crazy especially in the sun..really pretty! but I also really like the white and black (piano black gloss) so toss up on which color I like best but have to say I am so happy with my RAV4 Hybrid XSE which is also fast and fuel efficient besides being sporty and reliable - this amazing vehicle seems to have it all or close to all
