Will it be apples to apples or will it be base-model RAV4 vs higher trim Rogue? That can still work if they say, this is what you get for your money with them vs us - it’s what Hyundai and Kia basically do - but still.

A particularly good point is that sliding side doors are infinitely more utilitarian and useful than swing doors, so unless those back doors do something uselessly cool simply to show off the buyer’s wealth, like swing up ala the Model X, fuck BMW (and Alpina) for not putting sliders on there.
