Toyota Releases Mid-Model Price Increase Reports
Toyota has announced the new mid-model year price increases for their trucks and cars. Many of us were expecting something like this – but were hoping that it wouldn’t affect the Lexus brand – but it seems that luck was not on our side for this decision. We have listed all of the increases below. If you look closely you will see that the Camry is the only 2009 model that has been given an increase. The gas model was increased to $18,920 ($200 increase) and the hybrid model was increased to $25,650 ($300 increase).
