Marketing Idea for the FT-86
I hope some one who work in Toyota read this Post!!
Why dont Toyota Market the car through Youth people in Each country or Region!! i know that they have dealers everywhere!! but the dealer will market the car in a commercial way. not a passionate way!! but if Toyota chooses a group of people (people who have experience in Toyota sport cars history and Love the JDM concept) in each location to Market their new sport car !! Toyota will target a big portion of market. since these young people know where and how to market the car!! Its different when a dealer marketing the ft-86 than someone who have a passion to Toyota sport cars!! and he know whats make Toyota cars and Subaru cars so special!! I am willing to do Marketing in Bahrain or even in the Middle east!! umm i cant say i will handle all expenses but at least Toyota can help us little bit. Toyota should put the IDEA and concept of the ft-86 from now in people minds!! and the only way is through people who really admire JDM sport cars specially Toyota sports!!! Imagine... activities, events, gatherings.. FaceBook groups.. News in twitter in each country.... soo, who supporting me in this dream!? |

Everyone who's in to this type of car (or cars in general) probably already know about this car and already know (subject to specs and price) if they intend to buy it. Cars like this dont need much marketing. |

Believe me, my country is loaded with racer boyz!! and they dnt even know that Toyota will bring up a new sport car!!
Instead of making Car dealers Market this car!! Toyota can assign this Job to people who are real enthusiast! and save big money! |

Hm... in US, I think SCION have more events & other stuff more than Toyota. I know Middle East, Asia, Toyota still do events.

Back to the topic. Like you said, Toyota still do the event in those regions, I don't see why people don't know about the car when it release. I think there are also lots of Auto Shows in Asia. |

How is the middle east Asia what u do fail geography Hahaha Jkjk it counts as western asia. But the Middle east fall under Toyota African marketing umbrella. Where truck events are held more frequency than the events held by America scion or Toyota. I watch them do a hilux event in the desert before
This Idea reminds me of civic nation. From reading the first topic.

Slightly off topic but are there still massive protests in Bahrain?
I don't think this car will need much marketing once it comes near production; since it will sell itself. Consider yourself lucky since you have the upper hand knowledge about this vehicle.

^^^^ No that is definitely not ricer. Not even close. That would be the antithesis of ricer. That is one sweet AE86 in the background.
Oh ok... that GTR is nice too! |
