#8 of 567 Re: Toyota seeks tax breaks for it's vehicles [moparbad] by tpe Nov 30, 2006 (4:45 pm)
Replying to: moparbad (Nov 30, 2006 1:30 pm) The biggest problem I had with the tax break is that, with it, the Prius was selling at MSRP or maybe even a little higher. We all know that most cars can be purchased at closer to invoice. So essentially this tax break was being split between the purchaser and the car dealership. I understand the sentiment in encouraging people to buy "greener" vehicles but I don't think our tax code should be subsidizing the car dealerships. The way I see it there is a fundamental flaw in this tax break approach to encouraging people to buy hybrids. Replies to this message: gagrice (Dec 03, 2006 6:43 am) kdhspyder (Dec 03, 2006 8:01 am)

#10 of 567 Not a Hybrid on the List Re: Top 10 vehicles for holding value [kdhspyder] by moparbad Dec 01, 2006 (4:57 am)
Replying to: kdhspyder (Nov 30, 2006 10:20 pm) Not a hybrid to be found on Edmunds list, and they actually list a % value.   Top 10 Cars with Highest Residual Value - No Hybrids   Edmunds Top 10 Cars with Best Residual Values and there is not a hybrid or a Toyota on the list (well, there is a Lexus).

Replying to: tpe (Nov 30, 2006 4:45 pm) That is exactly right. If the hybrids cannot sell on their advantages, so be it. Toyota crying about the tax breaks is really funny. Now they have to sell on merit not government incentives. Replies to this message: kdhspyder (Dec 03, 2006 8:01 am)

Replying to: gagrice (Dec 03, 2006 6:43 am) They're doing fine. With one month to go in the CY the results will be just in line with last year, regards the Prius and HCH ( see Nov sales YTD ) and of course the TCH is all additional volume.   Now however in the next two years there's going to be an awful lot of new entries in the field from Nissan to Ford to GM to Honda to Hyundai. If by 'hybrid' you mean 'Toyota Hybrids' then Press' crying as you say is just a way to keep the playing field level now that everyone has a clean vehicle option.   Toyota and Honda were first and pushed the technology envelope now the rest are coming around to see the merits - or have just been able to master the technology.
