Toyota Rav - JDM?

Question about the Toyota Rav4 (2.4A VVT-I)
I was at Ubi checking out another car (the JDM Accord) at a couple of the parallel importers. I couldn't help but notice the JDM Rav that they offer. To me, the JDM looks like a bit different than the one offered by Kah. I am not an expert, but to me the JDM looks quite a bit sleeker and somehow more streamlined - but I may be saying this because subconsciously I just don't like the latest version of the Rav that Kah has - it just seemed so bulked up. The JDM just seems slightly better looking.
Does anyone have views on this? The JDM sells for about 80k or just under. I wonder if it's worth it. Does anyone whether for any reason the JDM should be preferred above the export version, or vice-versa?
Thanks.

Hi
No I was referring to the Toyota Rav JDM which is available at the main parallel importers at Ubi. It's not the same as the one available at Kah. The JDM is slightly smaller. Seems like a nice car.
But I did see the Rush at the PIs as well. It seems ok - but my qn is that since it's 1.5 is it underpowered? I don't know. Grateful if someone who knows more the Rush/the Rav could share his/her views.
thanks. -
Toyota is distributed by borneo motors...
Rav4 frm borneo is a long wheel base model, while JDM Rav4 has the std wheel base. -
my frend test drove it the other day,
the auto version 1 from daihatsu which is
basically the same, he said power wise it's
quite good, no lag at all when u step on the throttle,
considering it's a heavy car on only 1.5l engine.
there's a 2WD and 4WD, 2WD is RWD 1....
imagine, can drift it round a corner....
