just received an email from Toyota on their Earth Day celebration. it had links discussing Li-Ion battery technology and offering discounts of $600 on pkg 4?? on up to $2000 on the top of the line pkg that will be in effect until furthur notice, so if anyone is looking to buy, this sounds like a pretty decent incentive. *mod edit: URL to deal site: http://www.toyota.com/html/dyncon/2007/apr...s.html?url=html

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(DaveinOlyWA @ Apr 21 2007, 04:32 PM) [snapback]427476[/snapback]</div> well of course they don't want to make any time commitment. Not only that, you don't want your competitors to know too much.
Sounds like a mixed message: Save $2000 Now! But if you wait, a Lithium-Ion Battery. I must agree with what was said on the Nav DVD upgrade thread. Don't upgrade the Nav DVD, buy a new Prius every three years.
Would anyone be willing to forward that email to me ASAP? We'rea bout to go look-to-buy one today and I'd love to see if these discounts would affect us on Earth Day!
