Wednesday afternoon I came across a customer information request regarding one of our new Toyota Prius. The person inquiring was a gentleman by the name of Russ, who at the time was under a lease contract for a “decked out” 2008 Honda Accord Coupe.

Right off the bat, Russ and I hit it off, Russ is THE guy when it comes to fine wines and other spirits. You see, Russ works for one of the premier wine distributors in the nation, and because of it he gets to taste just about every wine out there, in a way we are one in the same…  I get to drive around and sell some of the best cars in America and he gets to distribute some of the best wines in the world! 

Am I stretching on that one?

Well, to make a long story short, my good friend Russ got the deal that he wanted and I…

well I got a couple of bottles of fine wine for being lucky enough to sell him a car.

I love this job!

Thank You Russ!

And of course, Me enjoying some fine wine and a Chipotle panini…

Toyota Sienna Campaign - The Swagger Wagon

It’s friday afternoon and I should definitely be writing my thesis and not a new blogpost! But I am quite impressed by the new Toyota Campaign by Saatchi & Saatchi and want to share it with you.

The campaign is about a couple with two kids, which don’t seem to lack any self-confidence in their parenting, personal style or any other skills. :o)

The campaign have great success on the web with the “Swagger Wagon” music video, which have now been seen by more than 2.8 million people and I guess people like the humor and irony, which is evident both by the visuals and the lyrics:

But Toyota have not just made one music video - they have made lots of movies about the family and the two parents and made them available through this Youtube channel: http://www.youtube.com/sienna. Here you can learn much more about the couple and of couse the new Toyota Sienna.

I especially like this one:

Happy Birthday Toyota Hilux!!

(aka Toyota Tacoma)

What can I say, I really just needed a reason to post this video, nothing more comical than a talking dog, plenty more from “Buddy” the talking Toyota Boxer coming soon.

Breaking news!!!!

It looks like a partnership between Toyota and Tesla has been established, according to some of the news that are coming out from Palo Alto (HQ for Tesla), the companies are set to produce an electric vehicle.

If you are not familiar with the Northern California based company, they currently build the Tesla Roadster, an electric vehicle that drives about 200 miles on a single charge, best thing about this car is the speed, the car jolts from 0-60mph in only 3.9 seconds!

As of January the company has sold about 1000 of these, the price to get you behind the wheel of one of these will run you about $110,000 dollars…

Can’t wait to see what happens.

Michael is currently attending BYU, the same alma mater as his father James. Like his father (and older brother), Michael is now driving a Toyota…

Why? because Toyota has never let them down!

I don’t think this is a surprise, the Prius is still the car to try and beat…

Read the story:

WASHINGTON — The Environmental Protection Agency has issued its annual Fuel Economy Guide to 2010 models, and hybrids — not too surprisingly — are dominant on the leader board. Nine of the top 10 fuel-sippers, in fact, are hybrids, led by the Toyota Prius at 51 miles per gallon in town and 48 on the highway.
