    "Right now, there's an environment where car sales are weak," says Johnson. "So there's pressure for incentives and maintaining market share."
    Paul Taylor, chief economist for the National Automotive Dealers Association, says that, with interest rates starting to creep up, it makes sense to consider a lease if affordability is an issue. Recently, several promotional leases were offered by automakers intent on moving the metal.
    The best example of this involves the Toyota Prius, the poster child for efficient hybrid powertrain technology. The current generation of the Prius was introduced in 2004. Yet Toyota applied its first incentives--including a bargain lease offer of as low as $249 per month--earlier this year. Sales of the model were higher than they've been before, up by nearly 68% when compared with the first 10 months of last year. The Prius was just a few spots short of making it onto our best-selling vehicles list. Maybe next year.
