Now with the Rav4 you can attribute it to Toyota's reputation for reliability as one of the big factors behind why it sells as well as it does.

I'm not saying that the best price for many people doesn't includes more than just the purchase price. Reliability, retention of value, etc. can all factor into this.
There is definitely a reason why the last two times we bought a vehicle that was primarily meant for my wife that it was a Toyota and a Honda.
