Toyota increase prices across the board

Hopefully this does affect the price goal of the ft86

tho seeing as how Scion and Lexus got upped I dont see how it cant be bad news

An extra $500-600 bones isn't going to scare me off if Toyota nails everything else that we are hoping for.

quick econ lesson for everybody.

There is a demand for Toyotas, however currently supply is becoming limited so when Supply low and Demand stable/same = higher price. When Supply goes back to previous levels toyota will cut the prices back down.

The FT-86 is going to be a 2012 model so most likely no effect to it

You are forgetting that raw material costs have gone up up up lately. Also the USD is not very strong.

whats with all the hyundai fanbois posting on that article? lol

On Autoblog, they troll each other alot :popcorn:.

"The only Toyota products that won't see a price hike are the Tacoma light pickup, the Yaris sedan, the Scion tC and xB, the Lexus CT200h Hybrid, and the Lexus LFA."

I wonder why only certain models increased? Was this due to the Tsunami? I do remember a slight price increase on the Tacoma from 2005 to the 2008 model because of the blacked out headlights and LED taillights.

Not sure but I don't think they can ask anymore on the LFA haha

Don't they lose money on each LFA? I want to say Top Gear or Car and Driver mentioned that on their review?

Yea according to all the reports Ive seen they are losing money on every car and quite a bit if I remember correctly

but there no way they can charge any more for it I mean it is like 400K+ already

All 500 LFA's have been sold already, so that piece of information is redundant lol.

and yes they take a loss on each car, R&D was a lot for this considering they put a lot of money into carbon fiber research among other things. The goal of the LFA was longterm - flagship, bragging rights, advertisement, the rest will trickle down into Lexus cars.
