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?

My family have been using toyota's since the early 90's. First toyota I had was a 1985 toyota cressida. We bought it because it was a good price at the time.

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

I have different toyota's i used them for everything. tow, race, commute.

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)?

Toyota's last forever.

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

Mainly it is honda. then afterwards its every other car company.

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

No.

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...)?

Everyone buy toyota. Since they got rid of there sport cars, there has been very little brand loyalty from the younger generations.


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

Not reliablity, they are protraying an image of working together with the consumer to make the world a better place. They only adopted this slogan when they came out with the prius.

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

prius owners are rich dough bags who are cheap on gas.

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?

Its hard to buy an other cars when you know toyota offers good resale value, good on gas, safe, and more importantly reliable.

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?

Its bull ****. Every car in the world can suffer from stuck throttle. Stuck throttle cables where a problem since the invention of the car. Its nothign new and the press is blowing it up beyond proportions. But i will not deny toyota does have a problem that they must fix. And that they did drop the ball.


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?

the press are ass holes and the public is dumb

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?

Toyota is just a car company. They lost there soul trying to over take GM and become the number 1 car company in the world.
