Seems like that is only happening due to cash and low financing incentives, they are also pushing leasing for those that cannot afford the increased prices.
All three of these techniques are used to help move vehicles...and automakers don’t do it unless needed.
Hey Hyundai salesman, you'd know all about subprime financing and incentives, wouldn't you? Since it takes thousands and thousands of dollars on the hood to move the disposable, cheap cars you sell. How is it seeing the cars with Theta II engines you sold three years ago rolling, excuse me, being towed into the shop for engine replacements, while their resale value is approaching 1/4 of what the suckers took out on 96 month loans?
No thanks, went Hyundai twice, burned both times. Will stick to Toyota/Honda/Subaru. The fact that you have nothing better to do than constantly repost a few handpicked quotes from CR about a competitors vehicle (that you deep down wish you were selling) says quite a bit.
Thru November, the Rav4 is the number 1 selling non-pickup vehicle. It is on par to beat last years numbers. Looks like Toyota has a winner in their new design. Sales are up 4.7% over last year. https://www.marklines.com/en/statist...esfig_usa_2019
Desperate times call for major sales tricks, cash back incentives and below residual value leasing rates. Sure it stirs sales but hurts resale value and does not help the Various problems including:
Lows:
- Fit and Finish, seriously this is a new Toyota right and fit and finish is poor?
- Ride
- Limited AWD functionality, seriously???

Once again, apparently no one cares about what consumer reports says about the Rav4. Rav4's are excellent vehicles no matter what you say. Consumers have spoken. Every manufacturer offers cash back and incentives. And I wouldn't say that having the number 1 vehicle outside of pickups means they are desperate for sales.
So since pickup trucks typically have very high incentives, does that mean the big three are desperate for sales?

Only three vehicles sold in America will outsell the 2019 RAV 4 in America. I just passed 7000 miles on mine.
An incredible state of the art vehicle considering the cost, and what it is capable of. A solid ride, no rattles, fit and finish impeccable . I am getting over 34 MPG on my daily commute to work. A recent 6 inch snowfall was no match, it feels like driving a tank. Absolutely no wheel spin up the rolling hills here in Southern New England. Agile and a joy to drive. Good road feel , and the heated seats and heated steering wheel are pluses.
The Blind Side monitoring system saved me last month when moving from the left to center lane passing a Tractor Trailer on the Interstate. Some Yahoo in a Cherokee with NY plates passed the tractor trailer at high speed from the extreme right lane, and attempted to cut in front into the center lane that I was already halfway through. At 65 MPH, just as I was ready to settle in the lane, the flasher went off. There was a very good chance that without that device, we would have collided.As a former Professional Driver , that situation is always a dangerous one .
I have said before that I have been a loyal customer of Toyota since my first Corolla in 1976. If only my 1978 Corvette was built as good back then. An economy car with a better build factor than a flagship.Go figure .
Since then, I have had other cars, and 10 Toyotas in my family. They are better than ever. Solid and dependable, Hundreds and hundreds of thousands of miles, and only once did one have to be towed. And that was a hole in the radiator.
Yes, as history has shown us, Toyota suffers from poor resale value. Look at the 4Runner. If you buy one for $40,000 now, you'll only be able to sell it for $38,000 in 10 years. Think of how many Hyundais and Kias you could have bought for $2000. Is it worth it?
