Plus the general issues with shipping delays of late.

It looks like the supply tap is a bit more open now.

To Toyota's credit, the RAV4 is a good car for the market segment that it is targeting. It has an efficient drivetrain and, for once, Toyota have delivered a vehicle with reasonable roadholding (again, reasonable for its targeted market segment).

I think Toyota would sell a lot more RAV4 if people weren't put off by the very long wait.
