			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><h3>Car Reviews and Safety Ratings</h3>
<p>Reviews help us decide whether a product is worth buying.  Magazines, blogs, like this one for example, are great places for people to find information about a vehicle and leave a comment or review of their own.</p>
<h3>Why Do We Like Reading Reviews</h3>
<p>When shopping on Amazon, I always check out what people have to say because if it&#8217;s a bad review then I might consider a different brand.  Maybe the manufacturer isn&#8217;t addressing a problem, a safety concern, etc, people are pretty good about sharing that kind of stuff.</p>
<h3>Telling Friends Your Looking At New Cars</h3>
<p>If I&#8217;m looking to make a big purchase, say a <a href="http://lexusofreno.com/">Lexus</a>, then I want to talk to someone I know who owns a Lexus.  If nobody I know has one, I expand a bit to the <a href="http://clublexus.com/">Lexus forums</a>, or sometimes I&#8217;ll even ask a <a href="https://secure.drivers.lexus.com/lexusdrivers/home">Lexus owner</a> in a parking lot if they have a car I want.</p>
<p>If I&#8217;m not sold on a particular brand yet, I will look for indications that a manufacturer is heading in a direction I like.  <a href="http://mcgrathlexusofchicagoblog.com/lexus-hybrid-performance-shifting-gears-from-luxury-to-agility/">Lexus is heading towards performance</a>, which I like.  Perhaps you&#8217;re looking for a brand more focused on electric cars.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m also very interested in making my life easier with technology, sort of a conundrum, but so be it, I love gadgets.</p>
<p>Some people can spend 6 months researching and gathering information about a vehicle.  To me that&#8217;s absurd.</p>
<h3>Waiting For Next Years Models</h3>
<p>I&#8217;d suggest getting some info about when the next years models are expected to arrive at the dealership, typically in the last month or two of the year you&#8217;ll start seeing them arrive at local dealerships.</p>
<p>Now you have a dilemma:</p>
<ul>
<li>Buy the current model year at a discounted price because dealers want them sold</li>
<li>Buy next years model because, .. it&#8217;s next years model</li>
</ul>
<p>I chose the former, which I would normally <strong>never</strong> do, but I did so because I wanted it right then and there&#8230;. and because I would save a few grand.</p>
<p>So we were expecting our first child and my wife and I decided it was time to get something safe and reliable.  Ok, it was her decision.  I like working on cars, so gimme something that needs a little TLC and off to the garage I go.</p>
<p>Anyway, to make a long story short, I took my wife to a few dealerships one weekend, that had the year make and model of car we were looking for.  We didn&#8217;t look for sales, or rebates, or offers, that stuff was secondary.  Plus, if need be I could jump on my mobile and see what prices we should pay anyway if we found something.</p>
<p>She was big on safety, I was big on getting something with a little pep.  I can&#8217;t stand driving a car that can&#8217;t get out of its own way.</p>
<p>We test drove a few and decided on a car, but nobody had the color combo we liked.  I liked the silver with black leather interior, and it seemed all we could find was white with beige, etc.</p>
<p>So that was the end of that, for the time being.</p>
<h3>Go Find A New Car &#8211; Then Let It Find You</h3>
<p>I am a big believer in how we attract the things we want.  So after we drove the cars, we both knew what we wanted, it was just a matter of time until what we wanted would find us.</p>
<p>Sure enough, the dealer about 2 miles from my house had one sitting in the showroom.  Last years model, good price, and the final request I had for sales person who gladly obliged was:  &#8220;I want this one, and I&#8217;ll buy it right now if I can be out of here in 45 mins&#8221;</p>
<p>Done.</p>
<p>I was out the door, and my wife was surprised on Christmas eve with a brand new car in the driveway, minus the bow.</p>
<p>And when it comes time to buy another one, <a href="http://www.familydeal.com/">this dealer</a> will certainly be my at the top of my list for handling the sale just like they said they would!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>Lexus is known for incorporating high quality materials, and craftsmanship, in their manufacturing process.  They call this process &#8211; The Pursuit of Perfection.</p>
<p>This pursuit is evident in the people at the <a href="http://www.lexusofreno.com">Lexus dealer</a>, and the passion they forge into the product on a daily basis.  It&#8217;s more than just about cars, it&#8217;s about the whole experience.</p>
<p>Lexus drivers are those who like to enjoy the <strong>highest quality service</strong> wherever they go.  It&#8217;s like the difference between staying at a 2 star hotel and a 5 star hotel.</p>
<p>Even if you aren&#8217;t currently a Lexus owner, you can still get an idea of what the experience is like from visiting dedicated websites for <a href="https://secure.drivers.lexus.com/lexusdrivers/home">Lexus Drivers</a> to ensure that all of what you&#8217;d expect in owning a luxury vehicle should be about.</p>
<p>Some even become Lexus evangelists, telling the world of the remarkable Lexus owner treatment, and sharing <a href="http://lexusenthusiast.com/about/">what its like to own a Lexus</a>.</p>
<p>When the expectations are this high, it requires a serious passion from all the employees to deliver this experience on a consistent basis at whatever cost.</p>
<p>The Lexus service department is not intended to be something owners will dread, in fact many Lexus dealers have built hair salons, restaurants and other amenities into the Lexus dealership experience.</p>
<p>These lavish Lexus dealerships have the look and feel of vacation resorts as owners should be able to take advantage of these extra benefits of being a Lexus owner.</p>

<h3>2010 Results: Toyota #1 in Retail Sales, Lexus #1 in Luxury Market, Scion<br />
Youngest Brand</h3>
<h3>Toyota and Lexus Remain On Top</h3>
<p>Toyota has managed to retain their lead in the industry, and Lexus doesn&#8217;t allow other luxury brands to capture their 10 year long market domination despite a new image and despite the challenges of 2010 Recalls.</p>
<p>BMW and Mercedes-Benz put up a good fight, but couldn&#8217;t beat Lexus when it seemed for the first time in a decade the luxury brand could fall off the top as the leader in luxury automobiles.</p>
<p>The consumers stood by their choice and it shows through the volume of cars sold during a tumultuous year.  It looks like 2011 will be an exciting year with the new electric powered Toyota RAV4 and Lexus CT 200h &#8211; the sporty and luxurious sport compact.</p>
<hr />
[Source: Toyota Newsroom]</p>
<p>While Toyota Motor Sales (TMS) today reported annual sales of 1,763,595<br />
vehicles that were flat compared to CY 2009 on a daily selling rate basis,<br />
Toyota retained the retail sales crown, Lexus remained the luxury sales<br />
leader and Scion was the youngest brand in the industry, with a median age<br />
of 29.</p>
<p>“”New Years is typically a time for reflection and anticipation and that’s<br />
never been more true for us at Toyota Motor Sales,” said Don Esmond, senior<br />
vice president of Automotive Operations, during a conference call with<br />
journalists.  “We’re coming off what was arguably the most challenging time<br />
in our 53-year history. And I know I’ve never headed into a new year with<br />
as much excitement and anticipation as we are headed into 2011.”</p>
<p>“Now I know the common perception is that Toyota has been reeling this year<br />
as a result of those recalls,” he added.  “But, in fact, the final results<br />
include some remarkable accomplishments any company would love to report.”</p>
<p>In addition to winning the sales titles, Esmond noted that Camry was the<br />
best-selling passenger car in America for the ninth time, and Corolla,<br />
Tacoma and the Lexus RX all repeated as segment sales leaders.</p>
<p>Toyota also was the industry leader in certified used vehicle sales,<br />
setting a new company record of more than 315,000 and a single-year<br />
industry record as well.</p>
<p>Looking ahead, the company is forecasting an industry sales increase of<br />
about one million units to 12.5 million in 2011 and 13.7 in 2012.  “And at<br />
Toyota, we expect to outperform the industry,” said Esmond. He cited the<br />
loyalty of Toyota owners to the brand, the return of strong conquest<br />
numbers on trade-ins (55-58 percent), consumer perceptions of quality and<br />
value, and the introduction of several new products.</p>
<p>“And that’s just the start,” he continued, noting that 2011 will bring a<br />
new member of the Prius family, the new Scion iQ, the new Lexus CT 200h<br />
hybrid and the introduction of the Toyota Entune System.</p>

<p>Mike Michels:</p>
<p>Happy New Year everyone.  Thank you for joining us to review December and 2010 sales and to take a look at 2011.</p>
<p>Speaking today will be Don Esmond, Senior Vice President of Automotive Operations for Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc.</p>
<p>After Don’s remarks, he’ll be joined to answer your questions by:</p>
<p>•    Bob Carter, Toyota Division Group Vice President and General Manager<br />
•    And Mark Templin, Lexus Division Group Vice President and General Manager</p>
<p>As every month, our business communications team will be in the office the balance of the day to field any follow-up questions you may have.</p>
<p>Now, I’d like to turn this over to Don Esmond.</p>
<p>Don Esmond:</p>
<p>Thank you, Mike, and Happy New Year everyone.</p>
<p>New Years is typically a time for reflection and anticipation and that’s never been more true for us at Toyota Motor Sales than this past holiday period. We’re coming off what was arguably the most challenging time in our 53-year history.  And I know we’ve never headed into a new year with as much excitement and anticipation as we are headed into 2011.</p>
<p>I’m going to take a quick look at December and 2010 sales, then spend a little more time talking about what we see happening in 2011.</p>
<p>In December, Toyota, Lexus and Scion dealers sold 177,488 vehicles, down 5.5 percent on a straight volume change basis from an excellent December last year.</p>
<p>With one less selling day in 2010 than 2009, sales were down 2 percent on a DSR basis.</p>
<p>Strong sales between Christmas and New Years pushed the TMS total to the second best month of the year.</p>
<p>Prius led the way for Toyota Division, with sales of more than 15,500 up 38 percent. That’s the best winter month ever for Prius and its best month since Cash for Clunkers back in August 2009, outselling every Ford and GM passenger car in the process.</p>
<p>And Lexus recorded its best month of the year, with sales of 27,560.</p>
<p>December also was a good month for the industry, which posted its third straight month with a SAAR above 12 million and continued improvement in retail sales, good news for everyone.</p>
<p>That will bring the industry total for 2010 a little bit north of the 11.5 million we forecast a year ago. For TMS, total sales last year were virtually flat compared to 2009 at 1,763,595.</p>
<p>Retail sales were up slightly for the year, but were offset by a decline in fleet sales, which fell to less than 8 percent of our total.</p>
<p>And let’s not forget that 2010 was essentially an 11-month year for us, as we stopped sales and production last January on some of our core models to focus all of our company’s efforts on servicing customer vehicles.</p>
<p>Now I know the common perception is that Toyota has been reeling this year as a result of those recalls.</p>
<p>But in fact, the final results include some remarkable accomplishments any company would love to report.</p>
<p>For instance:</p>
<p>When the dust settles later today, we expect Toyota will be the No. 1 retail manufacturer for the second consecutive year.</p>
<p>In a year when fleet sales often hovered around 30 percent or higher and inflated some corporate totals, more people bought our vehicles than any other manufacturer.</p>
<p>The Toyota Division also will remain as the No. 1 retail brand in the industry for the third consecutive year.</p>
<p>Camry will again be the best-selling car in America – for the ninth straight year.</p>
<p>And Corolla, Tacoma and the Lexus RX will all repeat as segment sales leaders.</p>
<p>Lexus will retain its place as the best-selling luxury brand in the U.S., a position it has held for 11 years in a row. Lexus sales for the year are up nearly seven percent.</p>
<p>And Scion will continue to be the youngest brand in the industry with an median age of 29, as it gets a great year-end boost from the introduction of the new tC.</p>
<p>Toyota also will be the industry leader in certified used vehicle sales. Toyota certified used sales will top 315,000 for the year, setting not only a new company record, but a single year industry record as well.</p>
<p>It would be a mistake to overlook the used car market. We consider Toyota Certified Used as an entry level vehicle into the Toyota family and TCU sales are an excellent indicator of the strength of the brand and future new car sales.</p>
<p>Used Toyotas also held their value remarkably well in 2010.  The Toyota price index for residuals is currently at an all-time high based on AuctionNet data, one of the largest databases of real-time auction data in the industry.</p>
<p>Looking ahead to 2011 we expect the U.S. economy to continue to expand, but at a slower rate than we’d all like to see. Unemployment and a weak housing market will remain challenges and continue to have an impact on consumer confidence.</p>
<p>But we expect gradual improvements in the labor market that will help the economy pick up steam in the second and third quarter.</p>
<p>As it did in 2010, we believe the industry will add another million units in sales this year, for a total of about 12.5 million vehicles.</p>
<p>I know we’re probably on the low end of many forecasts. But we also see industry growth gathering momentum throughout the year and carrying into 2012, when we should see sales of more than 13.7 million.</p>
<p>There are plenty of good reasons for this optimism.</p>
<p>First is the surging Gen Y population. Those 70 – 75 million consumers are now fully in the marketplace and the oldest are entering the parenting stage of life.</p>
<p>Scrappage rates have been outnumbering new vehicle registrations the past two year…And the average car on the road is now more than 10 years old, the highest its been in 13 years.</p>
<p>Buyers will find used cars in short supply and with higher prices. The number of 1-5 year-old used vehicles continues to drop and will hit its lowest level in 27 years in 2013, as a result of slow new car sales</p>
<p>And perhaps most important of all for concerned consumers, new cars are a better buy now than they’ve been at almost any time in the past quarter century, according to the latest auto affordability index.</p>
<p>All this adds up to a year of continued growth for the industry in 2011.</p>
<p>And at Toyota, we expect to outperform the industry.</p>
<p>Again there are good reasons for this optimism.</p>
<p>By most indicators, the Toyota brand is in full recovery mode from the recalls we dealt with in the first part of 2010.</p>
<p>Throughout the past year the loyalty of Toyota owners never wavered, as fully 60 percent of those who bought another vehicle, purchased another Toyota.</p>
<p>And while the number of those trading in other makes dropped early in the year, by the end of 2010 those numbers had returned to the 55-58 percent totals of past years.</p>
<p>Third party sources also continue to point to Toyota’s recovery. ALG noted Toyota has made a remarkable increase in consumer perceived quality and had jumped from sixth to second place among mainstream brands.</p>
<p>And just last month Kelley Blue Book reported Toyota has regained its spot as the most considered brand among new cars buyers.</p>
<p>Most of all we’re excited about the new vehicles that will be introduced in 2011 as TMS launches 10 new or updated products this year.</p>
<p>It’s no secret that in addition to everything else that happened last year, it was a light year for new products for us. The new products that were introduced, such as the Sienna, 4Runner, Avalon and tC, were extremely well-received, with double digit growth. But for the most part, those are relatively low volume models.</p>
<p>That all begins to change next week in Detroit, where we’ll introduce the first new member of the Prius family of cars.</p>
<p>With gas prices at two year highs – and possibly headed much higher according to some analysts – the timing may be perfect for another member of the Prius family when it goes on sale later this year.</p>
<p>And that’s just the start. The introduction of the new Prius will be followed by the new Scion iQ which will reach dealers later this year and is designed to meet the needs of a growing generation of urban drivers.</p>
<p>And in March the new Lexus CT 200h hybrid will hit dealerships, providing a fun-to-drive experience with the luxury industry’s best combined fuel economy of 42 miles per gallon.</p>
<p>Finally, during the next couple of days at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, we’ll be introducing the new Toyota Entune System, providing a superior level of in-car technologies that we’ll begin rolling out this year.</p>
<p>With the latest in customer requested destination, entertainment and safety services, Entune is designed to minimize distractions and add more value to our vehicles.</p>
<p>So I hope you can see why we’re excited about 2011. With continued growth in the economy and the industry, boosted by a surge in new products, we’re confident of a significant increase in sales overall, and especially for Toyota.</p>
