Interview with my local Toyota Dealer

[AIRMAX]

Sales men and Dealership people don't know JACK about vehicles NOT in production yet or not been announced yet.


Suppliers... yes, they would know.
North America Sales Executives and Market Execs... yes they would know.

Sales men and Dealership Managers.... no, until about 1-2 months before car is ready for sale... these guys answer to the District Managers who then answers to Sales Execs.... who KNOW....

But even at this point, Sales Execs/Marketing Execs, only know the bare minimum, until the product brochure is released to them for them to circulate, which is about 3-4 months before release....

Leaks are dangerous in the Automotive industry so a shabby Dealership Manager who can easily quit or change jobs immediately will not have information this far off from release.


He talk crap.

You have to be careful of the words and phrases to avoid these kinds of things. And thanks for trying to expose their secret bits at all cost.

You're probably right. The dealer is the last place I would check for info based solely on the fact that they only sell cars not build or design cars They're not required to know 2 cents about them.

Thank you for clearing that up.

[Chibi86]

Everybody take this like they want, it's just an info, you can believe or not.

And sorry for the "wrong word " used, I'm just traducting to english with the word that match the best, not my fault if it's understood in another meaning... Thanks

I didn't mean to sound like I was reprimanding you or anything, we're only joking with you. It wasn't the wrong word or anything like that, it was the way you used it that made a couple people chuckle. And you would have to really be trying very hard to avoid that here .

And for sharing.

Ok No prob then, internet isn't really simple to know about everybody reaction, this is because I use smiley all the time I think xD

Anyway, Can't wait till Sunday, I'll put my TRD Shirt on with " TS " ( as Toyota Sport ) badge on the front and try to act like I am someone from Toyota France Departement... ^.^
