How cool is this Toyota has used two pieces of soundtracks that anime fans will probably recognize in their Aqua commercials.  Below you can watch the two spots from “maidigitv” YouTube channel.  The first is for the Aqua which is set to Dragon Quest III‘s “Adventure” and the second is for the Aqua X-Urban which is set to Monster Hunters “Proof of a Hero”.

Auto Museum Having Fun

 

The Toyota Auto Salon Amlux, an automobile museum, began a Girls und Panzer themed event.  The event will run through February 11 and some of their activities are a bingo tournament, 2000GT plastic model building, Gran Turismo game simulator and a Toyota itasha car decorated with official Girls und Panzer decals.  So if your plans include a visit to Japan, make the museum on of your stops.

Toyota and Gundam Franchise

The Char Auris that was debuted last year as a custom vehicle may now come to market.  Toyota is looking the bring the Char Auris hatchback to market this year and is doing an additional Gundam crossover by saying it is the product of Toyota teaming up with Zeonic Company, which is a fictional Gundam company from the series.  I have to admit it looks kind of cool.

Wouldn’t You Love to Test Drive this Car

Toyota is having an IDOLM@STER event this February 11 to March 31.  Individuals can call ahead to the Toyota Amlux Showroom in the Ikebukuro Ward to reserve a test drive in the car above or two other IDOLM@STER deco’ed cars.  For 1,000 yen, or roughly $13.00 one can rent a 60 minute test drive of a Prius, Ractis or Wish vehicle and have fun driving around.  It’s a unique way to make some money for Toyota and let fans have some fun for an hour at a fairly reasonable price.

Fun Ads From Toyota

Just found these ads for Toyota Corolla that features the Virtual Idol Hatsune Miku.  Your patrons that like JPop, Anime and Manga will be interested in these ads.  I’m going to try and keep up with these, but I know I’m coming to the game a little late so the next few times I make posts might have Toyota Ads until I catch up with the storyline.  The video below comes from Toyota’s YouTube page.
