Faced with the toughest market in memory, automakers continue to bring out the biggest weapons in their incentive arsenals: substantial cash incentives, low-rate financing, and -- best of all -- combinations of both. But don't expect this shoppers' paradise to last. As part of their bankruptcy proceedings, GM and Chrysler have vowed to match production more closely to consumer demand, eliminating the need for fire sales. Incentives might also be less important to automakers as the economy improves. Most economists -- if they can be believed -- are predicting some sort of economic rebound by year's end.

And they aren't the only optimists: Toyota sees automotive demand increasing this year, too. But, as much as they can, automakers are determined to relegate most rebates to the scrap heap of history. If the economy strengthens and the Detroit 3 keep cutting back on production, that might be possible. Or automakers might not need them to the same degree. The bottom line for consumers: If you want to save a bundle on your next purchase, consider buying now. There could be no better time to buy a fuel efficient compact, a practical sedan, a stylish crossover or SUV, or rugged pickup.

Editor's Pick: 2009 Toyota TundraTo some extent, you can thank plummeting vehicle sales and the soft economy for the current incentives on the Toyota Tundra this month. The Japanese automaker has historically done its best to stay out of the big rebate wars among the Detroit 3 automakers. That hasn't always been possible, however, and, this time around, the automaker was given no choice but to reenter the fray. The Tundra is just one example, roaring onto the market with rebates of up to $3,000. (As Toyota deals vary from region to region, see your dealer for the exact offer in your area.). The Tundra is known as capable work pickup with good handling, towing and hauling. You get your choice of three trims (Regular Cab, Double Cab and CrewMax) and three engines, the 236-hp 4.0-liter V6, the 276-hp 4.7-liter V8 (both with a five-speed automatic) and the 5.7-liter V8 (with a six-speed automatic), which tops out at 381 hp and 401 lb-feet of torque.
Please Note: These deals only apply to the month listed above.
