Toyota RAV4 3-Door Model at New York Deli in Torrance
An older gentleman came out from the deli with plastic bags carrying take-out food from this popular delicatessen restaurant. He then climbed into this Generation 1 Toyota RAV4 and drove away. Los Angeles County still does not allow inside dining at the time of this photo; only outside dining on the sidewalk area (enclosed by the white lattice here) is allowed. I’m not sure what’s going to happen when cold weather arrives.
These first RAV4’s, especially the 3-door variety appeared odd and mis-proportioned to me, but now its successors have proven to be quite popular.
==================

During 2024, Toyota’s RAV4 model sold over 475,000 vehicles in the US, besting the perennial sales winner, Ford’s F150 pickup for the first time.
