Oh, BTW if you're interested in the '09, some info now available on Toyota Canada's site, although, I suspect models and options will differ from the US.

how 'bout it. A split 3rd seat would be nice. I am also noticing that Auto Trader has a lot more used 2008 Highlanders available and now that it is October, Toyota is starting its 13th month on the 2008 platform so the 2009 has to coming real soon.

some dealer already have 2009 highlander. Most of the highlander on autotrader are from rental car companies...i think they dump it to the market because of gas prices and no1 really want to rent SUV

Sport Pricing? by ricko4

Building my own 2009 Sport 4x2 Highlander on the Toyota site results in a mandatory Option A package priced at $6765 and loaded with useless items. The total price is $37510. 2008 Sports had more reasonable option packages. Anyone else notice this?

First, try a different zip code, say 38111, in the build your own. By all means DO NOT USE 980XX.
 
Or even a New Orleans zip where money is REALLY tight and dealers are more likely to be HUNGRY.
 
Or even better yet contact a dealer directly via email for a quote based on the configuration you actually want.

Sure, first make it bigger and heavier...
 
And THEN add a 4 cylinder...
 
And I thought only GM or Ford to be THAT stupid.

lol ... but...
 
Comparing my minivan to the 4 cylinder:
 
Quest (FWD with a V6)
Weight 3830 pounds
Horsepower: 170 hp Max Horsepower: 4800 rpm
Torque: 200 ft-lbs.
MPG 15 mpg / 23 mpg
 
Highlander (FWD with the 4 cylinder)
Weight - don't know, but the base FWD V6 weighs 3979 lbs.
Horsepower: 187 hp
Torque: 186 ft-lbs. at 4,100 rpm
MPG 20 /27 (18/24 for the V6)
 
Shave 200 pounds off the 4 cylinder and it may be as peppy as my minivan, which feels nice and torquey off the line at the stop light. (My real world city MPG is closer to 19 fwiw).

Why develop and introduce a new I4 that doesn't include the advantages and FE improvements of DFI. Lexus has been shipping a GS350 V6 with DFI for several years now.
 
And why market a F/awd Venza with the new I4 but not the HL..??
 
Weight..??
