The 2008s are done!

For nearly a year I’ve been entering pricing information for 2008 models as it became available. Last night I finally entered the 207th, the 2008 Toyota Sequoia, along with the new Subaru WRX STI (not a separate model in my count).

There will be a 208th if Hyundai ever gets around to pricing the 2008 Azera. And a couple of trim levels have yet to be priced: the Buick Lucerne Super and the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X. But aside from those exceptions, the 2008 pricing database is as complete as it’s going to get. (Pickups and about  a dozen models that sell in low volumes aren’t included.)

Last year I didn’t reach this point until late February.

The work on the 2008s isn’t done. There have been some recent price increases, and there will be others before the 2008 model year is over. But the heavy lifting is done…for the 2008s.

Now on to the 2009s. First up will probably be the Dodge Journey, Pontiac Vibe, Toyota Corolla, and Toyota Matrix. Full pricing for these could be released any day now…
