2008 Highlander

I saw the 08s on my Toyota dealer's lot today.

It's not a bad looking vehicle. but sorely lacking in the muscular department. Not as

macho as the RX or 4-Runner for that matter.

An SUV that looks well suited if you want to

project a family image IMO. Hyundai has outdone Toyota as far as styling goes with its

Santa Fe and Vera Cruz.

I think the new RAV4 is almost as large as the old Highlander! However, that Highlander was never a super-attractive vehicle, anyway. Its selling point to most people was its reliability and utility. In Toyota's case, bland sells!

notice some of the features of the regular highlander and the hybrid. look for these things in the 2009 RX.

such things include:

1)third row seat (expect electric in the RX)

2)downhill assist

3)uphill assist

4)perhaps electronic parking brake

5)EV mode for the hybrid
