Talking FRS with a Toyota Japan Rep!

Hello fellow FRS fans,

My name is Aaron and I am the creator/host of an automotive podcast called Car-Jacked.

I started the podcast with two other friends from Supraforums, and so far we have 4 episodes, the latest of which features an interview with a friend of mine who works at Toyota Motor Corporation in Tokyo. We grilled him about the FRS and though we weren't able to get too much info out of him, he did do a good bit of foreshadowing about other models that might come as a result of the FRS (New Supra?).

I have been lurking these forums for a while as I'm a huge fan of the FRS and will likely be purchasing one come spring. I figured I'd post a link to the podcast as a way to give back to other FRS enthusiasts.

Episode 4 is the one with the interview. If you enjoy it please feel free to listen to other episodes and give feedback! I don't make any money off this, as it is really a passion project for me. I just saw a niche and thought I'd give it a go. So far the feedback has been very positive! I hope you guys like it.

Please feel free to post your comments, and let me know if you would like me to follow up with any additional questions for my friend for a later interview!

Podcasts can be streamed from our feedburner page here:

Episodes 1-3 can also be found on itunes here:

Blog is here:

And feel free to hit us up on twitter @wearecarjacked as well.

That's all. I hope you guys enjoy, and thanks very much for being the #1 source for FRS info on the web.

Best,

-Aaron

My friend is Chinese and his name is J.C.

I just realized he might be Jackie Chan

Jack Bauer vs. Jackie Chan? I'll try to make that happen.

And back to the more relevant posts :P

Yeah Chuck trounces Jack so there is no way to get it out of him. Nobody can defeat Norris.

Damn, I haven't heard about this on SF! I will check it out soon.

Maybe you'll become the next Adam Carolla? Nawwwww, he's kinda annoying...

My name is Eggy on SF. I think John79 (John from the podcast) has the thread posted in Other Cars.

I'm not a huge fan of my own voice, but I'm pretty confident that it's slightly less annoying than Adam Corolla's

I really appreciate you taking the time to listen. Definitely rate it on iTunes if you like! Tell your friends too! The more listeners we have the better a chance we have for people at large car companies to agree to interviews. I'm currently working on getting the director of marketing at Nissan Canada to talk with us about their marketing strategies (or lack of IMO...) specifically related to cars like the GTR
