Carsdirect is already offering 2500 off MSRP for a Limited with
Navi in Bay area. I think prices will become reasonable by next year. I am
in no hurry. Will wait till spring.

I do wonder why is the limited $6K more than the base Hybrid? I do see some bigger wheels, spoiler, DRL, leather, power seats but that's about it.
 
$40K+ for a non-luxury midsize SUV means it competes with MDX and others. Sure it's a hybrid but that's about it. Still no sunroof or other base 'luxury' stuff. Toyota certainly knows how to make money of hybrids...
 
So I could imagine you could get a discount on a non-luxury $40K midsize hybrid SUV. Although I doubt you could get such discount easily at this time...

Thank you for the information, it is helpful. The more dealers I've been talking to, I'm hearing similar info. I bought my own car used and it is domestic so I'm learning the ropes of buying new and foreign.

GM just announced the pricing of their new hybrids... $50 - $55K MSRP. Woweee
 
No! No matter what you tell me the auto makers are NOT discussing the pricing in some offshore island. I don't believe it.

You CAN get them with more specified options, but Toyota in general sends our cars with certain packages on them most of the time ... they will tell you it's b/c they are the most commonly sold, but it is a money-making proposition (duh, I know). If you special order one, you should be able to pick out the EXACT options you want on it ... otherwise you'll have to just go with the flow.

2008 HH by fmroczka

Can a 2006 HH be programed like the 2008HH, to stay longer in battery mode? I read that the 2008 will have the same engine set up as the 2006 HH, but it will stay longer in battery mode. Does anyone know the answerto this question ? Frank

Wish Toyota would have given more options for HH by dorenescar

I visited a dealership to see the 2008 HH. I love the interior, and the drive was much nicer than previous HH model. What was dissapointing was exterior cosmetics; the small amount of color options and the different grill - we like the gas H grill much better, but can't get that in the HH without paying for it to be changed. We have an 07 Lexus 400h, and want to get the HH for seating capacity and regular gas option as our second vehicle; Lexus is much more willing to give options to Hybrid buyers. All in all, the HH is a very good competitor to the Lexus 400 H, but the price is actually lower right now for 400H with all the options Lexus offers vs Limited 400H, since it is selling way over invoice. We got our 400 H for $400. over invoice; we'll wait until Toyota starts to come down in price, or incentives are offered. We currently get 26.5 combined city/highway; it sounds like the bigger Highlander Hybrid is getting the same mileage, which is great for HH owners.

Snow Chains for 2008 HH Limited? by jan123

Does anybody have an idea where to get snow chains for 2008 HH Limited (tire size 245/55-R19)? I tried Toyota, Costco, Kragen, a couple of internet sites, nobody seems to be carrying them.
 
Thanks a lot in advance.

"It took me forever to figure out how to reprogram the door lock operations when shifting into and out of Park. The manual really only gives you a hint of what to do and seems to be missing some required steps."
 
I followed the steps in the owner's manual, but it didn't make any change. Would you give detailed instructions on how you did it?
 
I agree that the manual (for all of its length) is very poor in some areas. The grammer errors do not help.

Does your owner's manual say chains can be used? They would probably say "cable" not chains.
 
I ask because I own a 2006 Ford Freestyle. I have the SEL trim, and own a set of cables, but the Limited trim has 18" wheels, and the owner's manual specifically says that you cannot put chains (or cables!) on the Limited at all.
 
I have always wondered what the Freestyle Limited folks are doing if they live in the snow belt!
