Some general Questions for Toyota Owners, Helping a friend with a term paper Options

[barterj]

Here are some interview questions, please answer 1 or 2 of them, or all if you want. Copy and paste the question you are responding to so I know which question the response is for.

Have long have you had, or did you have, your Toyota, what made you buy it? What year, model?

Why do you like your Toyota, and what do you use it for (driving, racing, towing stuff)?

Do you know any myths, superstitions or conspiracies involving Toyotas? What about jokes, inside or about Toyotas (like the punch bug or dub, depending on the year, for VW)?

Is there any rivalry that you know of with other car companies?

Is there a special recognition factor you get from begin a Toyota owner (like the "Wrangler Wave" for jeep owners)?

If Toyota owners could fall into one or two "general" stereotypes what would it/they be (Like Subaru owners are known to be like outdoor hippies, and VW owners are generally awesome...)?

Their current Ad campaign "Moving forward", and their promises off reliability?

How do you feel about the Prius, and the people who drive them?

During the Cash for Clunkers thing, the Corolla, the Camry, and the Pruis were all in the top 10 sellers, ranking at 1, 3, and 7. Any thoughts, or comments regarding this info?

How do you feel about the current issues surrounding Toyota, such as the recalls, the guy with the "run away Prius guy" and the lawsuit, such as the recent $16 million one?

Why do you think the recall got so much media attention, and do you think the massive media coverage could have been part of a conspiracy trying to get people to buy American?

Are there any other noteworthy things that you've noticed about Toyota, or the people who drive them, or anything else you want to add?

This thread seems like a trolling attempt, but i'll happily bite.

Have long have you had, or did you have, your Toyota, what made you buy it? What year, model?

Little over a year now. Purchased it because they are dependable vehicles, not to mention its my favorite toyota. 1994 ST

Why do you like your Toyota, and what do you use it for (driving, racing, towing stuff)?

Its my DD, and project car/learning experiance

Is there any rivalry that you know of with other car companies?

I know the Honda ricer boys around here always give me hell when the pull up, but I enjoy watching them acquire tickets for stupidity.

Is there a special recognition factor you get from begin a Toyota owner (like the "Wrangler Wave" for jeep owners)?

Not that i've noticed, its mostly "Damn the car is nice","Wow she looks good for how old she is..."

How do you feel about the Prius, and the people who drive them?

Green freak morons that have fallen into the agenda of the polictical asshats. Simply put, if I offended you because you have a prius...good, your the dumbass for buying it.

During the Cash for Clunkers thing, the Corolla, the Camry, and the Pruis were all in the top 10 sellers, ranking at 1, 3, and 7. Any thoughts, or comments regarding this info?

Another gov't scam aimed to bail out the companies that put themselves in that position. Happy Toyota did good, but the basis behind the "Cash for clunkers" was exactly as stated above. A scam once agian for the political asshats.

How do you feel about the current issues surrounding Toyota, such as the recalls, the guy with the "run away Prius guy" and the lawsuit, such as the recent $16 million one?

Considering the gov't bailed out the american car companies, and I belive they own quite a bit of these companies now, its nothing but an attempt to take out the big dog. Being Toyota, which has always been known for dependability and much much more. Everyone fails to mention all the recalls on the crappy american cars that have been popping up non stop, they just take a jab at toyota cause its time for "change" as obama would say. Once agian its the cattle we call america following the leader

Why do you think the recall got so much media attention, and do you think the massive media coverage could have been part of a conspiracy trying to get people to buy American?

Refer to above statement

Are there any other noteworthy things that you've noticed about Toyota, or the people who drive them, or anything else you want to add?

The majority are more real....except the prius drivers, if I enjoyed jailtime, and hated my car I'd ram each one of'em off the road til they caught me.
