Prius sales in Canada up 175% . While it is all good news for the Prius community (and perhaps more for our planet) I cannot think about nothing else but.....-> IT'S ABOUT TIME !! What takes so long for my fellow canadian friends to consider buying such a great vehicle ? (ok maybe the 29,500$CND price vs 21,100$US as something to do about it)
Simple. The 2008 had a price drop. It's more surprising when you realise that a lotta people imported their Prius and yet Toyota Canada managed to sell so many. Well done!
Probably but they should also have been included in their new "lower price philosophy" Model-- Reduction Yaris Hatchback-- $750 Yaris 4-Door-- $750 FJ Cruiser-- $1,000 Highlander Hybrid-- $1,750 Avalon-- $2,000 RAV4-- $2,000 4Runner-- $2,020 Tacoma-- $2,290 Sienna-- $2,350 Highlander-- $2,750
yeah... but what can you do, they were selling a lotta of those. We'll see how the 09 Camry fares when it comes out in Feb/Mar.
