2008 Toyota Highlander

Too bad you weren't at the exit door of Home Depot hardware store, today.
The local Toyota dealer had 7 people there trying to make the best of an
awful market dumping their overstock of Tundras, Highlanders and the
smaller SUV noone wanted.

I asked one when I could stop by and pick up my 3 cylinder Smart-sized
microcar. He didn't like that question....

What were they asking for a 2008 Toyota RAV4 with 4cyl and auto
We're still getting ripped off up here. Even though our money is approx
par...they still want thousands more than Consumer Reports says they cost
below the border.

Sorry, I didn't ask. My only question was how much did it take to fill it
with liquid rhodium. I wasn't interested in buying. As soon as he found
out I was a vegoil user all but one of the salesmen wanted me to go drive
my 300TD Turbocharged diesel wagon over so they could hear it run....

They don't make a diesel Toyota for the USA. How sad. The Tundra had a
5.7L V-8 "Top Fuel Eliminator" in it.

Did you say you checked out the Volkswagen Jetta with the 100 hp diesel?
My sister has a wagon version TDI and seems happy with it.

Volkswagens caused me sticker shock. Once the price passes what I think a
new home is worth, I pretty much lose interest. God they're proud of
Volkswagens! They look at me funny when I tell them my first Beetle was
$1495 brand new!

I didn't see any Volkswagens, though. Those cars with Volkswagen stickers
on the outside were Audis, who gave America such a bad time I can
understand why they don't call them Audis any more......

Certain models of the newer Audi's are nicely engineered. They
subcontracted some of the drivetrain and engine design to Porsche.

Not surprising. Toyota is not very aggressive in offering cash rebate
like other car companies. They are only offering $1,000 rebate for
Highlander when Nissan is offereing $2,500 for PathFinder, and $5,000
for Titan. GMC also offers $5,000 for their Sierra. But when I went
to their dealership to look for Sierra, they had sold out all of their
pickup trucks. This means despite the economy condition, some people
are still buying; but they only buy from companies that offer large
cash rebate.

For the record, Toyota is also offering $2,500 for their aging 4Runner
SUV; I don't consider it because its third row seat is painfully
tight.
