The honest Vaughan decision
Pick RAV4 Hybrid if Toyota familiarity, residual lore, or a specific AWD package on toyota.ca is the priority. Pick CR-V Hybrid if you want cabin quietness, cargo-floor usefulness, Alliston Canadian build, standard Real Time AWD, and a delivery window Henry can pin down at Maple Honda. Both are good — this is a priority match, not a knockout.
