Dealers day supplies on the new LX are very low so now, if any, would be the time to raise prices. And dealers also can't get enough RX 400h's. On the other hand, internally, we can't figure out why GX 470 sales haven't dropped off; They are still selling strong and gaining market share; it perplexes us.

I think 1-2% is very reasonable considering realistic inflation rate. You should see how much ammo went in price. More then doubled.

Now only the realtors that can make million-dollar home sales are still working, as everyone below that segment can't free up any credit or unload their old house anymore. Thus, the remaining realtors are richer, and need to be relieved of some excess cash. The Luxe-Truck market is aimed at one single customer: realtors.

I recall being stuck with 320i in dunes on Cape Cod and kid with Land Cruiser pulled me out. It was same size as Jeep (CJ) and much smaller then a Wagoneer. Today LX 570 & Land Cruiser are somewhat equivalent to Range Rover: smooth ride, decent acceleration; gentleman's Safari ride. Tundra is a cheap truck - attempt to chase F 150. Totally different market segment. Everything got bloated now. I recall being stuck with 320i in dunes on Cape Cod and kid with Land Cruiser pulled me out.
