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?
Well my first vehicle was a 2002 Toyota Tacoma Prerunner, and my dad passed it down to me. I had it for 3 years and now I am here today with my 98' GT that I paid half for and I had it for about 1 month now.

Why do you like your Toyota, and what do you use it for (driving, racing, towing stuff)?
I love everything about both of my toyotas, I use the Tacoma for towing and hauling big things, and I use the GT as a daily driver.

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)?
Not that I know of.

Is there any rivalry that you know of with other car companies?
I see every car company as a rival

Is there a special recognition factor you get from begin a Toyota owner (like the "Wrangler Wave" for jeep owners)?
I get a thumbs up for having a nice truck, IDK

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...)?
I get "Toyota trucks are wimps" by alot of country boys.

Their current Ad campaign "Moving forward", and their promises off reliability?
My Prerunner is EXCELLENT off road, lift+mudding tires+lockers=INVISIBLE.

How do you feel about the Prius, and the people who drive them?
I think they are lame(no offense to anyone here who drives them) They just want to save money on gas, I say go buy a bike.

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?
None at all, I dont care for any of them. I am more of a performance guy.

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?
That is why I think Prius are lame

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?
Yes bc when they were doing the recall for the Tacoma's with frame rust, I checked mine and didnt have ANY.

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?
Umm were are awesome
