Replying to: adamgreen (Jun 05, 2008 10:28 am) For us the cost difference for the HiHy was going to be worth the extra up-front investment compared to the gas Highlander, in part due to gov't tax incentives we have here in BC. There was no doubt it would quickly pay for itself as the overwhelming majority of our driving is in-city. The fall-down was the very high price tag of the Highlander compared to other 7 passenger options with the HiHy $200-300 more per month on a 4 year lease compared to competitors.

Replying to: volkov (Jun 05, 2008 10:52 am) $200-300 more per month Even at Canada gas prices that is a lot of gas per month. Should cover the average gas Highlander fuel bill every month.
