If rumours are true (~300 hp 1.5L three cylinder with awd) it would be fun but it sounds like they aren't leaving that much room for aftermarket power and I would be shocked if it didn't require premium only. There is only so much boost and timing you can pull when drinking 87 and I suspect it would become a dog.
Supposedly it is only gonna be around $40k CAD

List of MSRP Only Dealerships
Congrats to those who can buy this :]
You're a Toyota dealer?
yes sir. And we won't be marking them up.....but yes I assume some dealers may try to our detriment.
I thought you can’t mark up new cars above msrp?
How is that to your detriment? Sure it costs you some short-term profits but market the hell out of that fact and it will come back in goodwill tenfold.
Even if something similar existed it is easy to play the game. Lean hard on extended warranties, paint protection, rust prevention, prepaid maintenance etc. If someone refused to buy all the high margin bits, sell to the next person in line. They aren't going to have trouble moving all of these. As long as sales doesnt say or write something stupid, they can get more than msrp.
It isn't that....any dealer can do that anytime.....some dealers near me are selling the cars as "used". The dealership buys the car at cost (list price of 55k for a Highlander) and marks it up 10k and call it used. Once the car is sold to the dealership the manufacturer stops caring.
I meant to the detriment of the buying public.....to the detriment of the opinion of salespeople in general. You have no idea how often people are scared that I will reach into their pocket and take their wallet when all I want to do is sell them the car they WANT to buy!

You can't...but the dealer can add all the other adders at markup (nitrogen, etching, paint protection, rust protection, etc) before the client even walks in the door.
Those are some good choices when looking for a house lol....flip cars every year!I contacted the sales manager I know and sounds like demand is through the roof. They won't have a problem selling this with Mark up.
Decisions decisions
Have you seen how much some of the ridiculous charges are? $1000 for a blinking led light to prevent rust. $250 for nitrogen. $499 for theft id (ie stickers on the doors). 10%+ of msrp for extended warranty. 10%+ of msrp for paint and fabric protection. Easy to get to five figures without a line item market adjustment.
If I wasn’t teaching tonight I’d call one of these and ask why the sale price is so high, just for kicks. Maybe tomorrow…
@GreyGhost beat me to it. It's very easy to add 14k worth of 'adders' onto a car like that.
