Toyota Cuts Prices in Australia

Battered last year by the severe financial crisis, Japanese carmaker Toyota released a full list of prices to be modified in Australia, with overall savings ranging in between AU$350 and AU$2,770. There are, however, a few models which will get a price tag showing a bigger number than today. The biggest increase in price will be seen on the Land Cruiser 200, which will get an extra AU$1,000.

"The new prices take into account the increased specification and the impact of the tariff reduction on passenger cars that applies from January 1,” Toyota said in a statement quoted by GoAuto.
