Well, I bought my TCH knowing full well I wouldn't get a penny of the tax credit....I am in the un-enviable (enviable?) position of not having enough taxable income to have a tax obligation this year....(And I paid cash, at MSRP in July, no financing for me)

I bought my loaded TCH on it's merits: great fuel economy, extremely low emissions, very quiet, Toyota reliability, technological wonder, near luxury, and making a statement regarding our nations dependence on the middle east's oil cartel.

8,000+ miles later, averaging 40.3 mpg overall, and couldn't be happier, with or without the mystical tax credit.

But...I truly feel for those who expected the $2600, and may not get it...very typical of our outdated tax code, and our(?) politicians....but that is another topic....

Thanks for the link and the heads up!
