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....

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.
