#19 of 3943 Cost by chazzcage Jan 06, 2004 (9:27 am)
I would expect a fully loaded Highlander to be about $2000 higher than a non-hybrid which would put the cost at about $37,000. And do not expect any discounts during the first 12-16 months. Do all concur? Starting to get out of my price range and will probably stick with my Honda minivan fully loaded for about $30,000.
#20 of 3943 GM doesn't have a clue by dgrayson Jan 06, 2004 (3:48 pm)
Sounds like the late 70's & early 80's all over again. American car makers saying that no one wants a small fuel-efficient car (remember when they lost tons of market share & never have truly caught up).   By the time Toyota has marked the hell out of these and brought the cost down to a minimum, GM and others will have lost a ton of market share and have to spend a fortune to catch up. Sell American car stocks now with attitudes like these:   http://money.cnn.com/2004/01/06/pf/autos/detroit_gm_hybrids/index- .htm

is ignoring the growing demands. Toyota argues that it's making $$$ on every Prius it sells, and there are long lines and the Prius is selling at MSRP. How can GM's beancounters (who gave us junk interiors to boost profits) resist hybrids, with long lines of people waiting, and with Toyota making money, how can GM ignore this?

#23 of 3943 Towing With A Hybrid by bmccue Jan 07, 2004 (5:57 am)
Does anyone know if the Highlander Hybrid 4x4 could tow a camper like the "old fashioned" gas model?
#24 of 3943 re: towing with a hybrid by dgrayson Jan 07, 2004 (7:11 am)
Why wouldn't it. The only limitation in traditional towing is the hp and keeping the engine cool enough. It wouldn't take anymore than the current upgrade to a larger radiator. In fact, towing would be better with increased hp.

increased Torque.
#26 of 3943 Hybrids by spookoman301 Jan 08, 2004 (7:18 pm)
I believe that the hybrid hl is gonna be great but the only thing im om worried about is that its already 4 years old and that it may get a redesign in the next 2 to 3 years. Also does anybody know if the sienna will be available with the hsd?
#27 of 3943 hybrid Sienna by ssachnoff Jan 09, 2004 (1:49 pm)
Other posters on other boards say that Toyota sells a hsd Sienna in Japan.
#28 of 3943 Dealers in the dark on the hybrid HL by ssachnoff Jan 09, 2004 (1:54 pm)
I just spoke to the owner of a Chicago suburban Toyota dealer and it seemed that he knew less about the Hybrid HL than I did (and my info is from this board and Toyota's own website and press releases.) He said I was the first person to call about getting on any list to buy the vehicle and that he didn't think he would have any materials or info on the vehicle for another 6 months.
