    Why is it so important just for us Texans to voice our opinion on Toyota ?

    Rocky
  • british_roverbritish_rover Member Posts: 8,502
    Because toyota is concerned about the upcoming new Tundra launch and Texas is I think the biggest market for new full size pick ups.
  • steverstever Guest Posts: 52,454
    It's probably for a Texas paper, so they want "local" input.

    your vehicle does or should reflect your individual personality

    To paraphrase old Sigmund, sometimes a car is just a car! :)

    interesting question. My mind went about 10 different ways in the past 3 minutes thinking about it.

    Fact is, I can describe my personality in terms of my car and I can describe my car in terms of my personality, but to actually reflect my personality, others have to see my car the same way I do. Since few people see cars the same way (if they did, there would be no competition in the marketplace), I'd have to say, no, the car does not necessarily reflect the person inside.

    In addition, my budget and needs don't necessarily go along with my desires. So, most times, a person is driving a car that they settled for and not necessarily the car they would pick if they had no restrictions. Again, this foils any clearcut relationship between personality and automobile.

    '11 GMC Sierra 1500; '98 Alfa 156 2.0TS; '08 Maser QP; '67 Coronet R/T; '13 Fiat 500c; '20 S90 T6; '22 MB Sprinter 2500 4x4 diesel; '97 Suzuki R Wagon; '96 Opel Astra; '11 Mini Cooper S

    I'm here to tell you that "local" isn't going to reflect the opinions of the majority of the state. Each part of Texas, has a significant culture, population, ethnic, and political difference from my experience and I haven't even came close to seeing the whole state. I think truck buying can be explained by the way Texas is laid out geographically. Up here in the Panhandle, you have lots of cattle, and lots of farming. Alot of oil related industry like drilling, thus people need to haul tools, or pull equipment. West, South, North, East, the same pretty much apply's. Farming, oil, beef, and in the city's small and large industry.

    I also believe very strongly that alot people here like driving trucks, because that is a Texas cowboy stereo-type and a real man is suppose to own a truck, even if he or she won't hardly use the bed of it outside of hauling groceries 99% of the time.

    However I do admit alot of Texans go hunting, fishing, camping, ATVing, Skiing, etc, thus a truck does have benefits for the outdoors folks.
