<a href="http://www.truckblog.com/story-579-toyota_targets_enthusiasts_for_fj_cruiser_marketin g" http://www.truckblog.com/story-579-toyota_targets_enthu...ruiser_marketing</A>
<FONT class=blog_body>
 According to Inside Line, Toyota is not doing any TV advertising for
the upcoming 2007 FJ Cruiser, to go on sale in February 2006. Instead, according
to Toyota Division vice president of marketing James Farley, they are relying on
enthusiasts and word of mouth. How are they doing this? By parading the FJ
Cruiser at enthusiast events throughout the country and hitting up the Land
Cruiser clubs, demonstrating its off-road capabilities.
We hope that
Toyota doesn't release another supposed off-road vehicle like the Hummer H2
(who's axle snaps at the mere sight of any object in the road over 3 inches
high). We also hope that Toyota doesn't miss an even larger opportunity to
market the FJ Cruiser using enthusiast sites like Truckblog to their advantage.
Keep us up-to-date with the latest news, photos, videos, etc., because
enthusiast sites will reach a helluva lot more enthusiasts than will your
national events.</FONT>

From the comments section:

Wow, Chris, you're too dumb for words, saying things like "Hummer H2 (who's axle snaps at the mere sight of any object in the road over 3 inches high)" is the equivilant of saying "Chris has a degree in journalism", both are very far from the truth. I recommend you search through some Hummer websites and see just what the H2 (and their incredible drivers) are capable of. It's pathetic really, when someone can hold a grudge based purely on ignorance and jealousy. Chris my man, do us all a favor, and zip it until you learn what an axle is.

bend, not break. It wasn't a true break. Don't worry (name I will not mention) I got your back! ...unless CO HUMMER pulls out the photochop card.
