Filed under: Car Buying, Acura, HondaThe residual value of a car or truck can be a tricky proposition. The age, mileage, general condition and segment of of the vehicle makes a big difference in determining its value, and so does its brand. If you want a car with strong residual value, it wouldn't hurt to buy a Honda, as the Japanese automaker has won it's sixth consecutive Automotive Lease Guide residual award. Honda's Acura division ...

Who could have seen this in the beginning of 2008? --Today, the stock market levels could not be sharper. Toyota is worth about $ 97B and GM is worth about $ 2 Billion! ---I think it is time to rethink not only the car industry but also the overall transportation systems and patterns of use in the US. So, I do not support the bailout if the money is to be used just to rectify ...

It’s no secret that automotive marketers will be slashing budgets over the next year. Social media programs, often classified as experimental, may likely end up on the chopping block, but perhaps wrongly so. In 2009, marketers mustn’t drop social media all together in a recession; instead they should refine what social media means to their organization by adopting the following three strategies: 1. It’s time for utility, not entertainment In 2009 marketers must focus on ...

The Book The Toyota Way by Jeffrey Liker The Review I was initially very skeptical about the value of lean in software development but became intrigued as to its potential value after listening to Jason championing it. Since The Toyota Way is the book where many of the ideas originated from I thought it only made sense for this to be my first port of call to learn about lean. What did I want to ...

Looking for a place to focus your frustration after getting pink-slipped from your media job? Try blaming the American consumer for not buying more cars in the last year. And car companies for spending less to convince them. Car companies cut their ad spending by 10 percent, to $6.1 billion, through the first half of the year, according to Nielsen’s ad tracking service. That confirms anecdotal evidence media companies have been offering up throughout the ...

While American Auto go hat-in-hand to Washington, I thought it might be instructive to take a look at what those firms have missed while Toyota has steadily out-invested, out-innovated and racked up more profits than all three combined. Who's got the answer? How about three professors from a Japanese business school. In their book Extreme Toyota, Osono, Shimizu and Takeuchi claim that Toyota managers embrace contradictions, opposites and paradoxes. Rather than find the best on ...

Dodai here. You guys, the "Saved By Zero" Toyota commercial has eaten my brain. Whenever it comes on, I helplessly sing along. I hate the song, but I'm powerless against it! And it is useless to resist. Time magazine interviewed Dan Sarles, a recent business school graduate who is, according to the mag, "among a growing legion of viewers" who have complained about the ad on the Web. Sarles says: "It's right at that border, ...
