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?

Have long have you had, or did you have, your Toyota, what made you buy it? What year, model? ive had mine for 2 years, i liked the body style 1997 toyota celica st

Why do you like your Toyota, and what do you use it for (driving, racing, towing stuff)? driving, racing, its a looker!! everyone likes it

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)? nope

Is there any rivalry that you know of with other car companies? yes but im not going to get in detail

Is there a special recognition factor you get from begin a Toyota owner (like the "Wrangler Wave" for jeep owners)? good gas mileage? it will last 2ce as long as an american car

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...)? we have class, we know cars,

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

How do you feel about the Prius, and the people who drive them? i think just like every other car their are problems. If you buy a used car you are also likely to have problems as well. also when you get your license you are giving a responsibility to be a good driver to know what to do in case of an emergency. if your car acceleration sticks you need to nkow what to do!! put it in neutral and turn off the engine, turn your hazard lights on and try to pull over! common sense im 20 yrs old and i know that

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? not really surprised they are a good reliable car and if you take good care of it your kid might be driving it in 20 years

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? i think that is pathetic, there are problems with everything, just like when you buy a used car or a new car there are recalls on every car, but i dont see anyone else sueing, they just want to make money because they feel that their life was threatened.

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? because liike you said it will get people to buy american, we are not only in a competition with foreign cars, we are competing for everything. so the worse they look the more people will recognize america and think that this is the way to go, we are the top of the food chain, or in building cars.

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? i still see people buying toyotas even with this recall, i still see people driving pruis's with no worries
