After its introduction last year, the Scion xD carries over unchanged. The manual transmission xD will have an MSRP of $14,650, reflecting an increase of $100, or 0.7 percent. The automatic transmission model will be $15,450 representing an increase $100, or 0.7 percent.

The effective dates for each vehicle's pricing will vary as many will correspond with their on-sale date. Scion xD pricing went into effect on July 14 and Sienna pricing on July 24. Pricing for the Prius, RAV4, FJ Cruiser, 4Runner and Land Cruiser will become effective on August 1. Avalon pricing will take effect on August 11 while pricing for the Highlander and Highlander Hybrid will become effective August 25. Prices for previously launched 2009 vehicles (Corolla, Matrix, Camry and Camry Hybrid) will become effective with North American production beginning August 25 and Japan-sourced vehicles arriving on or after August 25.

Effective with vehicles processed on or after July 14, 2008 the amount of delivery, processing and handling fees (DPH) increased by $60 on all Toyota Division vehicles and $50 on all Scion vehicles. The DPH for Toyota Division vehicles is now $720 for passenger cars and $745 for light trucks. The DPH for all Scion vehicles is $670. The DPH fee for vehicles distributed by Southeast Toyota and Gulf States Toyota may vary.

TOKYO, July 26 (Reuters) - Toyota Motor Corp (7203.T: Quote, Profile, Research), the world's largest automaker, said it will raise the prices of its 13 models, including Scion vehicles, in the United States by an average $181 or 0.81 percent.

Auto manufacturers around the world have been trying to pass on rising costs of raw materials with price increases.

Prices of the popular Prius gasoline-electric hybrid will increase by an average $500 or 2.2 percent to range between $22,000 and $24,270, Toyota said.

Uh? I would say that's actually pretty damn good, considering:

* the current US inflation rate is around 4% or so from last year
* the current USD exchange rate is pretty poor
* the cost of shipping worldwide has skyrocketed

Bravo, Toyota.
