And made no sense.
That would make resizing it larger and on a larger platform, as the Avalon, much more reasonable IMO

BTW, the big, bold text is just as good as yelling, which isn't very nice.

Contrary to many posters I still like the styling of the 2001-2007 Highlander. Just not into getting vehicles to impress others with the latest styling. I just couldn't afford an new Highlander until recently and didn't need new wheels either.
I am only waiting to see what the styling and size of the the new wheels are. Besides once it is shown I expect the deals offered on the 07 to go better for the buyers as they try to move the 07s.
If it is much bigger it won't fit in my garage well. And if it comes out down right ugly (IMO) as many of the new wheels are doing I will beat my path down to the dealer for an 07. I do so hate the loss of visibility in the rear vision windows on many of the new models. Down right dangerous especially for some of us older folks.

Shows & Events (Detroit opens 1/13 to the public).
Here's the show site itself if you want to get tickets or see the exhibitor list, etc. The exhibitor/vehicle list is pretty sparse on details though.
For the record there was no 2008 at that show and the Toyota folks I spoke with knew nothing about the showing of an 08 at any upcoming Auto Show.
Who knows if not LA in December perhaps Detroit in January?
LA moved their show to the very front of the schedule to pre-empt Detroit in a way, so there is a good chance the next-gen HL will be at their show. If not, then I guess January it is. Bear in mind that show models often have unrealistically large rims on them, not the rims the cars will actually have when they are available for sale. I am curious to see the new size and look though.

We shall see which Show will take the wrappers off the 08. Salesmen I have spoken with are very closed mouth. Probably not wanting to down play the recent release of the 07s. And its apparently short cycle.
Hopefully when the wrappers come off the 08s they will be offering big discounts on the 07s. Which is probably the direction I will go.
Here is a very good and accurate source for planning ...

The 2007s arrived in March? I thought it was much later around here. But of course it would be the same date everywhere, I believe.
You had just "1" left in March? They were still peddling 2006s at 7K off MSRP just a couple weeks ago. With all our dealers still holding a few 2006s in inventory.
The Dealer who offered 7K off MSRP had 7 that I know of the first week of November.
Are you a Saleman or a Dealer?
We too offer up to $5-6000 off 2006 Camrys...but they were in our rental fleet ( TRAC ) and then moved to the USED vehicle inventory after 5-10,000 miles.
In our district, CAT, all the new 2006's were gone in March/April. The 2007's were launched on about March 10th.
The ad did say "Brand new 2006 Toyota Highlanders" whatever that means..............
I do know for a fact that there still are some brand new 2006s in our area, as of last week. That is what surprised me when you said the 07s came out in March/April.
If what you say is true then the projected release of 2008s in April will be no sooner than normal.
I had been seeing chatter that the 08s would come out earlier than the previous year and the 07 model year would be a short one.
If they had 07s around here in March/April they sure weren't advertising them. But I can't say for sure since I was not looking for a Highlander at that time.
Maybe they had a big inventory or 06s in March/April in our area and they didn't advertise the 07s at that time?
I was using the example of the 2006/2007 Camry in showing how the planning worked during a major model changeover. We had 1 2006 Camry left over when the first 2007 Camry's began arriving.
I thought then that you were referring to 2006 Camry's at up to $7000 off. sorry. AFAIK there are none of the new Highlanders anywhere in the US. I'd watch the donlen site to see when the new '08 models are scheduled to hit.
I just assumed we were discussing Highlanders on this link.
That'll teach me to assume anything.
I shall continue scouring whatever sources I have as well.

As you know, the Highlander is known as the Kluger in Japan and Australia. I will be checking the Kluger page on Toyota's domestic site after January 1st for any more clues.

It is fascinating how the clay model of the Avalon-based Highlander was shown to insiders and select journalists this past summer, but we haven't seen s single spy photo of the vehicle. Compare that to the slow and steady unveiling of the Mazda CX-7, which was featured in the Grand Turismo vide game 2 years ago, and is now selling briskly as a hot new corssover.
Toyota has shown a lot of confidence in retaining customers and selling new models. Like weathermen in San Diego, they are making it look almost effortless day after day. Release a flawed new Camry? It sells. Don't update the Highlander? Its sales are up 6% over last year.

I wonder if the NAIAS will be a Tundra-only show or if after the Tundra debut they will then drop the curtain on the new Highlander, new Corolla, new Sequoia, new sports car, new hybrids, etc.
GM just took over the LA Show with all of it's hybrid announcements.
I just saw "May" and the year did not appear upstairs.
A May 2008 release date would be a late date wouldn't it.................
Toyota is so hush hush on new models. At the moment the only new Toyota is the all new Tundra. So I am sure Toyota will be revealing new models at the international auto show.
Such as the highlander, sequoia, and maybe the all new corolla
Also I know Scion which is part of Toyota also has been really quiet on the replacements of the Scion XA and XB. And for sure I know they are going to reveal those models because Toyota said they would be released in spring 07.
So most likely the Highlander is coming out May 2007
Well actually Corolla and Matrix I heard were delayed six months to a year.
The only car that has been known for a while to be coming out early next year is the 2007 Tundra.
