Toyota has recently announced that it might raise
prices on its vehicles to 'help' struggling GM and
Ford. Starting in October, Toyota is planning to
raise its prices 2 percent to 3 percent because it
fears anti-import sentiment if GM or Ford should
sink further.
Thus far all details around the plan are sketchy and it is not known whether the plan would include hybrid cars. I'm guessing that if the plan goes forward it will not include the Prius hybrid car, nor the Highlander hybrid, but that is pure speculation.
At this time, the plan is a proposal and has not been 'officially' approved by Toyota Corporation. Additionally, this is the second time such a price increase has been mentioned by Toyota, and some feel such a move might be illegal.
