Toyota announced it will be premiering the 2008 Highlander and Highlander Hybrid at the Chicago Auto Show on February 7.
The Toyota Highlander Hybrid was the second hottest hybrid sold in 2006. But future sales have several hardships to overcome. First, there will be more competition for hybrid car (or SUV) buyers in the coming year. Second, Toyota is slowly losing the federal tax credit on all of its hybrids.

All vehicles with a 2008 sticker will have these revamped numbers, which will be lower than they were in the past as the EPA has corrected for 'real world' driving conditions.
