    I thought I read somewhere they were going to offer 0% financing along with 2 year free maintainence as an incentive.. on certain models. I do hope they don't offer too good a deal.. I'm trying my best to NOT GET A PRIUS..I don't need the new note :)

    No reason to offer an incentive on the only model least affected by the recalls, especially with a relatively minor brake issue.

    actually there is a new lease program that is a lot better than the Feb program! which will also effect purchase if you decide to buy.

    Did you actually think any of this would change Toyota's arrogance and lack of customer support? They're the BIGGEST SELLER and have no incentive to offer incentives. Now, if their sales REALLY drops off over this, I can see that they might offer something eventually. But I bet we're months out from that kind of a decision.

    not sure where you're coming from, they are offering big incentives and their sales did drop at least 25% since Dec...:confused:

    Not comparing Toyota to Chevy (if I did I'd be thrown off the board :D ) but big incentives would be $3,000 cash back. In addition to that, Chevy is offering an additional $1,000 for any late model Toyota trade. So, if Toyota would offer $3,000 cash back and $1,000 Toyota owner loyalty (for Toyota trades), then THAT would be big incentives (and I would be incentivised to talk to my local Stealership about a 2010 Prius).

    I am counting on Toyota to revamp the company’s customer support system to ensure that they institute a timely method for responding to customer concerns. This will be necessary for Toyota to retain and expand their customer base. I am also counting on Toyota to maintain research and development resources and strategies that are required for continued production of innovative products. Currently, Toyota is on the cutting edge of innovation in the automobile industry and I believe that this practical innovation will continue and, perhaps, carefully expanded.

    These strategies are dependent upon profit motivation that ensures that Toyota survives in a competitive automotive marketplace. I don't see Toyota or Mr Toyoda as a Robber-Barron and expect Toyota to follow reasonable business practices that ensure continued survival and growth into the foreseeable future. This includes making a reasonable profit in the marketplace. Offering ridiculous incentives or price cuts on solid products would jeopardize the survival of Toyota and, in addition to crippling the company, it would unnecessarily depreciate the value our cars. Greed is bad, but turning a fair profit is required for innovation and survival.;)

    The money factor for the Prius is, according to a dealer, effectively cut in half for March.

    On Presidents Day holiday (2/15/10) I got 0% financing for 60 months, no money down and $2k off MSRP for a pkg II 2010 Prius. Decent trade-in $s for late model Izuzu Trooper. I was delighted! Maybe Toyota is softening a bit, even on Prius model.
