First off, I don't consider the Highlander and Outback "entry-level luxury", no matter what their price tags are. Toyota has three SUVs with higher base prices than the Highlander (and I'm not even including Lexus, which has 2 SUVs and another on the way) and it's based on the Camry, which is not a luxury car, Nav system notwithstanding. And the Outback H6 is just overpriced IMO. I don't care if they put Connolly leather inside, luxury vehicles should not have cladding.
One suprising excerpt: We were also a bit taken aback by the number of squeaks and rattles that permeated the interior of our test car. With Toyota's reputation for exceptional build quality, we often dismiss less-than-perfect test cars as exceptions to the rule, but as this was roughly the third Toyota in a row that displayed less-than-perfect build quality, we're starting to wonder if the reputation has begun to outpace the workmanship. :Q
