Now, in 2014 I bought a Corolla. I had to at least look at the Prius (jokes are welcome here). It was roughly $7000 more. A lot different then the Rav4 example. I was not gonna do that.
I think you are looking in the US... In Canada right on the Toyota.ca website it says $46090.00, but you will not get it for that price right now without pictures of the sales manager doing something highly illegal or embarrassing to hold over his head.

You can also get a base Rav4 N/A gasser starting for $28990.00 but in FWD not AWD. Base AWD (LE model) starts from $31,090.00.

Edit - I see the Hybrid you are talking about. I was referring to the prime which plugs in to charge and runs on electricity only for a small period of time before going to gas. The normal Hybrid does not do that. It is just electric assist.

I think the cost you will actually pay probably has to do with the crazy wait list time in Canada.
