4a. RAV4 shows who is using the vehicle and where the vehicle is being used
RAV4 is the only compact SUV that had images of• a person or people using the RAV4• where most likely the RAV4 is used or seen
The rest of the competitors are product-centric containing images of the compact SUV on their own
The target market should be able to visualize himself having the product and using the product
The Successful & Driven male is a social animal that needs to interact with others and shown how the RAV4 is part of it

4b. RAV4 can also tap Successful & Driven females as well
• A potential market that is not being directly targeted are female drivers • There are a lot of successful women today that also want a vehicle that expresses their style and power where a full—size SUV would look hideous on their smaller physical frame

10. The generic winning strategy is Low Cost Producer
Supply and Distribution Leverage seems an obvious strategy as Toyota Philippines is backed by GT Capital (Metrobank Group) and Toyota production processes also use leverage from its supply chain.
However, Toyota being the master of Lean Manufacturing and Just In Time inventory is able to produce more vehicles at much lower cost than the competition which translates to higher profits.
