Publishers Note: It has been almost 6 years since The Auto Channel went on line. TACH now delivers more than 5 million page views a month to folks like you who are interested in cars... in all that time we have never gotten one RFP or an order from any Toyota ad agency...and my how we have tried, in fact they don't even care to make appointments with our sales management, I guess they are too busy or too important to consider what many believe is the prototype for interactive content sites.

Let's see...The Auto Channel reaches an audience of car interested men and woman...should Toyota advertise on TACH...Nah... I guess Ms. Wahl Meyer has her work cut out for her if this is an example of the media planning Toyota's ad agencies have been doing the past 6 years.

YOU GO GURL! Call me anytime I promise after our meeting you will see why we are so frustrated.
