Don’t be surprised if you start seeing some new advertisements from Toyota Motors. If you do, this is perhaps the advertising mediums aimed at enticing people to avail of the “Cash for Clunkers” program. Under the Toyota wing, there are 25 models that are said to qualify for rebates ranging from $3,500 to $4,500.

The program will start today until November 1 or until they last. All Toyota and Scion passenger cars and most Toyota trucks, vans and SUVs are eligible for government incentives under the program. In addition, some Lexus models also qualify.

For the interested parties, you can check out the Toyota website to see the complete list of qualifying models. You can also make the necessary computations for what car you are trading in versus the Toyota model you plan on buying or leasing.

It has been a gloomy atmosphere anywhere in the auto industry and while many are practically giving up, here is something that should wake up the sleeping retailers to put to good use the various car incentive schemes and make it work in their favor.

We are all aware of the celebrated “Cash for Clunkers” and sales tax deductions and while most car dealers barely know what it is all about, they can really be made towards the favor of car dealers if they study it closely.

“Salespeople who quickly identify prospects with clunkers and get them into the store position themselves to win more than their fair share of the deals.”

And for that, Cars.com offers a free webinar to explain these options. Much of the topic that will be covered include:

• Implement the CARS program at their store.
• Reach prospects with “clunkers” and bring them into the dealership.
• Build an effective online marketing strategy to reach in-market shoppers.
• Leverage government incentives within their processes to close new-car deals.

With nothing much to lose, this is something that car dealers should really check out. Perhaps a better explanation on what the new alternatives are today can help shed some light towards their business performance.

As far as new cars are concerned, it is not surprising that most motorists are turning towards hybrid technology to curb down carbon emissions and better fuel efficient vehicles. This seems to be the trend these days as we see most car manufacturers unveiling their own version of hybrids, potentially to lure a curious market on the ideal car to have today.

The new 2010 automobiles will soon change the future in transportation as conventional vehicles make the switch to hybrid cars. The new cars also qualify for government incentives to use as a 2009 hybrid car tax credit. Hybrid cars can achieve better fuel efficiency and are led by car manufacturers including Ford Motor Company, Toyota, Honda, and General Motors.

The big switch is indeed apparent. We have been seeing various advertisements and promotions for the new breed of hybrids. And this time, it is not just a marketing gimmick. These car giants are really gearing towards the market demand. With due consideration to the two factors, carbon emissions and fuel efficiency, the product is that of having a hybrid or electric car in your lineup, something that we can see in most vehicle showrooms for customers looking for a new vehicle to own.
