Also, sales promotions haven&#8217;t really cut into the value of Toyota&#8217;s used vehicles. Kelley Blue Book reported Monday that the average year-over-year change in the 36-month residual values for Toyota vehicles is expected to increase 4.2 percent points in May-June. That&#8217;s only a little bit less than the industry average of 6.2 percent.<\/p>\n<p>However, according to a market research study reviewed by Fortune, the recall issues for Toyota vehicles have battered the company&#8217;s reputation, including brand consideration.<\/p>\n<p><span id=\"more-53445\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p>In a research conducted by Hall and Partners USA, the company surveyed consumers who are currently considering buying a new car in the next two years and who would consider a foreign model.<\/p>\n<p>The survey found that there is a 89 percent awareness of Toyota recalls and the impact of that number on those considering buying a Toyota was significant. Only more than half of those who were aware of recalls said they are &#8220;much less likely&#8221; or &#8220;somewhat less likely&#8221; to buy a Toyota in the future.<\/p>\n<p>Toyota&#8217;s brand consideration fell 49 percent in February from 75 percent in January. That&#8217;s below Nissan&#8217;s 54 percent and on par with Ford, which scored 49 percent. GM&#8217;s Chevrolet brand came in with 46 percent.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8211; By: Stephen Calogera<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/money.cnn.com\/2010\/03\/22\/autos\/toyota_buyers.fortune\/index.htm?section=money_autos\">CNNMoney<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/E5jaGy0WI3H4r6YxcfBTyqcHCSc\/0\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/E5jaGy0WI3H4r6YxcfBTyqcHCSc\/0\/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"><\/img><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/E5jaGy0WI3H4r6YxcfBTyqcHCSc\/1\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/E5jaGy0WI3H4r6YxcfBTyqcHCSc\/1\/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"><\/img><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/egmcartech?a=Yty05Oo-i1E:_QeIoJyXxdY:yIl2AUoC8zA\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/egmcartech?d=yIl2AUoC8zA\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/egmcartech?a=Yty05Oo-i1E:_QeIoJyXxdY:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/egmcartech?i=Yty05Oo-i1E:_QeIoJyXxdY:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/egmcartech?a=Yty05Oo-i1E:_QeIoJyXxdY:gIN9vFwOqvQ\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/egmcartech?i=Yty05Oo-i1E:_QeIoJyXxdY:gIN9vFwOqvQ\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/egmcartech?a=Yty05Oo-i1E:_QeIoJyXxdY:qj6IDK7rITs\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/egmcartech?d=qj6IDK7rITs\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/egmcartech?a=Yty05Oo-i1E:_QeIoJyXxdY:TzevzKxY174\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/egmcartech?d=TzevzKxY174\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While on the surface it may seem like Toyota is surviving its sudden and unintended acceleration recall crisis, buyer interest in the Japanese automaker&#8217;s vehicles have drastically declined.
