Just FYI, Toyota Canada's published sales numbers at the end of June for the Highlander and Highlander hybrid were 4400 and 863. So the take rate for the highlander is about 16%. For Camry it is 17%. Also 13% of all Lexus vehicles sold in Canada are hybrids. A RAV4 Hybrid would make a lot of sense, I am surprised that we haven't seen one yet.Those Highlander numbers are so skewed. Probably a horde of the old units being discounted out. Furthermore, those stats show the Camry and Highlander almost even which is absolutely absurd. Closest stats I could find to year end June/14 is May/14 in US numbers that are more relevant anyways. Difficult to read, but to the end of May, numbers show Camry 17897 and
Highlander at 1356. These are all Hybrid stats. BTW, US dealers received the Highlander first by 60-90 days.

Check the math though.
