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?

Since the 15th of April, 2008. I saw it on the lot at the dealer and fell in love. Auto, steel wheels, didn't matter; I knew I needed to take that '97 Celica ST liftback home.

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

Having a damned reliable DD, and it looks fantastic to boot.

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)?

The myth that Toyota is the only major car manufacturer with issues right now.

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

HONDA SUCKS!!111!!!one!!1!1!!!!!!!1

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

A look or compliment, occasionally.

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...)?

Helpful and entertaining folks.

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

It's a bit lame, but it's fine. Slogans don't do much for me anyhow, it's the experience of the drive.

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

Grass-eatin', gay-marriage-supportin', Chihuaha-havin', tofu-eatin' America-hatin' homosexicals driving fagmobiles. /redneck

But really, to each their own, can't blame anyone for wanting great gas mileage and reliability.

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

Apparently the public is of the opinion that Toyota makes some good quality vehicles.

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?

Several automobile companies have their gremlins to deal with right now; Toyota is just being put in the spotlight to hurt import sales in an attempt to push GM products on America.

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?

See above.

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?

As of right now, I would not buy a new Toyota automobile, because quite frankly there is just nothing exciting on offer from them. However, when the FT-86 rolls out, which could very well be the new Celica, I'll be at a dealership.
