So heres the story. I go through the drive through of my local mcdonalds late one night with my gf. As i pull up to pick up my food a employee sticks his head out of the window and looks at my black FJ. I smile thinking hes admiring my truck and then he turns to me and says "I didnt know Hummers made minivans" Well you can imagine i just about lost my cool.
1) its not a minivan
2) its sure as **** not a hummer.
The next couple of minutes i spent arguing with this guy that my FJ is not a hummer and than hummers suck even more than jeeps.
Im thinking Toyota needs to advertise a little more so i dont end up choking people in drive thrus....

sorry to hear that....my nephew still calls the FJ a mini hummer till this day.

regarding advertising, my cousin who is in advertising went to a seminar with a toyota rep speaking. they discussed how they did not market the FJ in a traditional sense. We all know there are no glorified commercials for our rigs. they mentioned how they use the TRAIL TEAMS to out to there and represent the vehicle.

I wish I could see an FJC commercial once in a while. Other 4x4 car companies have a lot of fun with that.

I saw a billboard near my house one time that had an FJ on it.
I have never seen a commercial though. I wonder if the sales numbers would have increased if they made 1 FJ ad per 10 of the tundra ads

Clue # 1. They were working in a fast food drive through.

the worst part of this is not calling the FJ a Hummer. It's calling it a minivan!!!!!:mofo:

This might be worth another thread...

If the FJ were more popular I would assume we would get even more aftermarket support. Wouldn't that be nice? I'd like to browse a catalog that had as much aftermarket toys as Jeeps do.

If it were more popular, the fender issue would have more uproar and we would get a real solution from Toyota.

Just a thought.

McDonald's, at some locations, are testing call centers for their drive thru's....the person who takes your order could be several states away. It would be ironic if they outsourced to India though seeing as the cow is sacred to them.... :)
