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?

been a toyota owner since 92, Dad had a 84 Supra so it started from there

Why do you like your Toyota, and what do you use it for (driving, racing, towing stuff)?
depends on which car
2001 GT-S = race car
1990 All-Trac = race car
1997 GT = daily driver
1997 Supra = race and fun car


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)?
nothing comes to mind

Is there any rivalry that you know of with other car companies?
constant rivalry with Acura Integras or RSX

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

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...)?
not sure on this one, Typical supra owner i guess

Their current Ad campaign "Moving forward", and their promises off reliability?
I think toyota shot them selves in the foot. im hoping their reliability will keep them in the industry

How do you feel about the Prius, and the people who drive them?
The car is fine with me, most owners are morons that know nothing about their own car...see youtube video "how to drive a prius"

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?
Toyota make good stuff!!!

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?
Most drivers are freaking morons that dont pay attention or read their owners manual. i dont think toyota should take any fault for stupid drivers that dont know how to shift into neutral or push the start button for 2 seconds

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 the media are a bunch of communits a$$holes that need something to jump on because they cant tell the truth on how the government is trying to take over the world by taking our freedoms one at a time and taxing the hell out of its people

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 believe that toyota makes some of the best looking cars out there. im not talking about the scion johnny cabs, but the Lexus IS line and the new corollas are good looking.
