Toyota Corolla: A History Of Success


The Toyota Corolla is now in its eleventh generation and still the best-selling car in the world. It receives many accolades for good reason. It is small sedan that is fuel efficient, dons an extremely affordable sticker price, which effectively meets the needs of several car buyers. In addition, it has an excellent ability to retain its value, and run well past the 100,000 mile mark.

The Toyota Corolla first made its debut onto the automotive industry in 1968. Since then it has continued to grow exponentially in popularity. It has been available in a number of body styles. However, currently it is only available in the sedan body style and is much heavier than earlier models. When it first debuted it was a frontrunner in the sedan market, with little competition. However, other manufacturers have taken note of the success of the model and there are currently a number of competitor models running against the Toyota Corolla.

The current 2013 Toyota Corolla can be found at your local Weiss Toyota dealer located near Saint Louis Missouri. It is available in five different trim levels, including, the base model L, LE, S, LE and S Special Editions model. It has been developed to meet the needs of the average car buyer. This way it is appealing to a wide variety of consumers, rather than a smaller focus on one group. The cornerstone of the Corolla success has always been its fuel efficiency. The current version is no different and follows that same efficiency pattern. In addition, it still has the incredibly affordable and competitive pricing. It is currently available in the $16,230 to $20,550 price range, making it a steep competitor in the small sedan category.
The standard features of the Toyota Corolla L include 1.8L I-4 132hp engine, 5-speed manual transmission with overdrive, 4-wheel anti-lock brakes (ABS), side seat mounted airbags, curtain 1st and 2nd row overhead airbags, airbag occupancy sensor, air conditioning, 15" steel wheels, ABS and driveline traction control, electronic stability, and power mirrors.

Toyota’s Stance On E15 Fuel

Image
E15 fuel is a source of fuel that is currently catching a lot of heat from people in the automotive industry.  It is a fuel source that consists of 15 percent ethanol and 85 percent gasoline.  The most common type of gasoline that is currently used is E10.  Supporters of this new fuel source believe it will help lower the cost of gasoline for consumers and it will help people become more independent in the energy category. Experts in the auto industry who do not believe in the benefits of this fuel argue that the added alcohol in the make-up will cause potential corrosion in the engine and through the major components of the vehicle, making the cost of repairs far more substantial than any savings at the pump could offset.  When you add the issues of car warranties being potentially invalid due to the use of fuel that isn’t recommended by the manufacturer of most vehicles, you may find it’s not the best choice for your vehicle. Toyota has commented on the fuel saying, “E15 fuel hasn’t

Social Media Strategy with Toyota Cars

Image
Recently autonews.com interviewed Jack Hollis, the Marketing Vice President of the Toyota Division.  Hollis touched on some important factors of selling Toyota cars in this upcoming year.  One thing is for sure, marketing across all businesses will not be able to overlook the power of social media this year.  It has quickly become a rising star in the world of business and sales and people of all ages are turning to it when shopping for products. Hollis spoke about the big social media outlets and how Toyota will use them to promote their brand.  Specifically, he mentioned Facebook, Pinterest, Instagram, and Twitter.  Hollis believes that the “return investment is based upon how you used these all together in a strategic form, not one-by-one on a tactical form.”  In other words, Toyota does not see one of these outlets as more important than another.  They are all very important and should be used together to maximize the benefits our current market has with the availability of social
