I know that... BUT in BC, that is NOT the case. Seriously, I'm kinda annoyed when I see people from Ontario and Alberta getting great discounts as here, we don't get a single thing, not even a thank you gift (at least at my dealer) ever since Access Toyota started in 2002 (and ended in 2005).
That doesn't apply to hot sellers. It applies to every single Toyota model regardless of whether it's selling or not. It's called collusion. (don't believe me? there's a Toyota BC dealer site.. look that up).
Don't forget, on cars like the Prius, they make $2k each. On the Sequoia, the profit margin is up to $5k and that's based on 2005 prices (don't know what the margins are for 2007/08). Of course they won't budge if they can convince you that you can't. And they will because they colluded so you as the consumer have no choice because every dealer will tell you the same thing.
