Toyota Best Brand Award

When you are shopping for a vehicle, you are probably the most concerned about a few different attributes: safety, reliability, and resale value.  Resale value goes beyond just choosing a vehicle that will be worth more money down the road when you want to sell it.  I had a minivan with 160,000 miles on it and it was 12 years old.  One day it was innocently sitting in front of my house and a diesel truck smashed into it and totaled it.  Luckily, I was driving a van with high resale value, and despite its age and mileage, I still was given $7000 for it from the insurance company.  Any other brand would have been pennies in comparison.  This gave me a good amount of money to start with in my search for a new vehicle.

Every year kbb.com chooses the best brand in the automotive industry for the best resale value award.  As you can imagine, this is an important award to win for any auto maker.  They also have a top 10 list of individual vehicles that stand out the most in this area.  This year Toyota took home the award for Best Brand as well as 2 of the top 10 cars with the FJ Cruiser and the Tacoma.

This might be particularly important to you if you are in the marked for a used car.  When your “new-to-you” car already has some miles on it when you are driving off the lot with it for the first time, it is a great feeling to know that it will last you many years to come and will still be worth a lot of money.  Visit your local Weiss used Toyota St. Louis dealer today to check out their inventory of “Best Brand” used cars and trucks.

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
