NEW YORK —

Toyota Motor Corp will raise its automobile prices in the U.S. market later this month. Toyota said it will lift its suggested retail price by 0.9% for the 2009 model year Camry sedan, 1.6% for the 2008 Yaris sedan and 1.8% for the 2008 Prius hybrid vehicle.

The suggested price will go up by 1.1% for the 2008 RAV4 sport-utility vehicle and 0.3% for the 2008 Tundra full-size pickup truck. The company decided on the markup by taking into account the impact of the yen’s recent appreciation against the dollar and the pricing strategies of other automakers, a Toyota spokesman said.

Meanwhile, Toyota will keep unchanged the prices of five models, including the Corolla car, the Tacoma pickup truck and the Sequoia full-size SUV.

  means nothing since buying a car in the U.S is a major negotiation. whoever pays the sticker price isn't too bright.
