Toyota Motor has a rare problem for an automaker: There is so much demand for its new RAV4 and the inventory is so limited that dealers only have a few days' supply. "It is really unusual to see cars fly off the dealers' lots like this," said Jessica Caldwell, head of product insight at Edmunds. "It is not something that exists in that very practical, very suburban, small-midsize crossover segment." At Colonial Toyota in Milford, Connecticut, the lack of RAV4s has left owner Bobby Crabtree with several open spots for new vehicles at his dealership. "This lot can handle another 250 vehicles, so I am probably about a third full of that capacity," Crabtree said as he looked out at scores of new and used Toyotas.
