Toyota – The World’s largest Auto Maker

Tuesday, December 30th, 2008

They have made the mark and they’re proud of it. Toyota has attained it’s goal of overcoming GM’s grip as the top auto maker with the most number of vehicles on the road to date. Why you may ask? Try going to their home page and you’ll see. Going in, you already get the customization you need and you get it straight from the dealer. No negotiations, no fuss, simple and straight click and select. Try doing that with other auto makers who give their cars, on a “take it” or “leave it” basis.
Their ability to give the customer what they want from the factory makes them more customer friendly. Their add-on’s are also quick and the best thing, you don’t have to wait for an upgrade from the dealer. They deliver you the car you ordered with all the add-on’s straight. Their tried and tested brands have long been taking over the roads with comparable features and economy as their main advantage. Why stick a V8 where a V6 can do as much with some technology. They have adapted their brands to the specific markets such as in Asia where they have the Innova and a more stylish and sporty looking Venza for the US market. They adapt and give their customers what they want and need fast.

世界第二位の規模の自動車メーカー、トヨタは小型車iQを日本で発表しました。 この車は上昇を続けるガソリン価格と厳しくなりつつある環境ルールに直接対応するものです。 最近のグリーン化と車の燃料効率化の傾向に対応するものでもあります。 iQは1リットルのエンジンで駆動されます。 車の価格は140万円または1万5700カナダドルと160万円または1万7900カナダドルで、11月20日に販売開始となります。 オートメーカーは日本の豊田市に本拠を置き、日本だけでも月、2500台のiQを売る予定です。 トヨタiQの長さはたったの298.6センチメートルです。 超コンパクトですが、3名の大人と1名の子供が乗車できます。 トヨタは来年、ヨーロッパでもiQをリリースする予定です。 iQはダイムラーのAGスマートフォーツーより少し長めです。 今年トヨタの売り上げは3.2%減少したと伝えられていますが、顧客を今まで以上に引き付け、彼らの製品を購入させる準備は着々と整っているようです。
