    Thanks to May Auto Pricing Highest Ever: Report - TheStreet and some other stories, I discovered Transaction Prices Rise To Highest Ever While Incentives Decline in May | TrueCar Blog.

    I know I've seem numerous people griping about something in their Prius and adding that "For a $xx (e.g. $27K, usually including tax, title, etc.), I expect _____". This is just to give some perspective that frequently, those numbers are many not be as high as they sound. The griper might've even paid below the average Toyota transaction price. For May 2011, Toyota's was $26,058.

    From TrueCar FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions), I'm guessing the values in the above blog entry does NOT include tax, title and other fees.
