TORRANCE, Calif., August 12, 2010 -- Toyota Motor Sales (TMS), USA,
Inc., has launched a new "Stories from the Road" minisite, designed to
provide a place for owners to share their Toyota product experiences.
Over the years, Toyota owners have had many varied experiences with
their vehicles. These range from longevity or high mileage
accomplishments, to extreme use adventure stories. Now these owners can
post their stories for others to read and enjoy. Here are a few
examples:
"I was hoping to see if others had
mileage like I have, and am delighted to see someone with 285,000 on
their 2003 Prius! I took mine in this morning for its 200,000 checkup,
and am aiming for 400,000 at least?"
"I purchased my 1998 Tacoma PreRunner
V-6 automatic with all the options available at the time. I now have
119K miles on the truck and it still looks and rides like the day I got
it?"
"Bought this Camry new in 1995. It
currently has 300,250 miles and going strong. 4 cylinders and handles
the mountains with ease. Front wheel drive makes snow driving a
pleasure. What a great car?"
Owners who wish to share their stories can log onto the www.toyota.com
website, then go to the "For Owners" tab, and click on the "Owners
Homepage" tab. After landing on the Owners Homepage, they can select the
"Toyota Community" tab. The "Stories from the Road" section is
organized into three segments. Owners can post their story in the Truck,
Hybrid or Cars/Van/SUV areas.
So far, more than 400 owners have posted stories about their vehicles. These are real stories from real owners.
