Last October 17, the digital world jammed with OPM legend Ely Buendia during one of the highlights of the launch of the country’s best-selling SUV, the Toyota Fortuner. Over 750,000 viewers nationwide enjoyed the virtual launch and interactive games, followed by the free online concert.
Entering the stage in the New Fortuner LTD, pinoy icon Ely Buendia then proceeded to rock the online community with nostalgic songs Overdrive, Magasin, Alapaap, Pare Ko, With A Smile, and finally, Ang Huling El Bimbo, with commentaries on each track’s history in between.
Toyota fans also expressed their excitement for the New Fortuner through the concert feed’s comments section:
“Time for an upgrade! Fortuner is the best SUV” – Joseph Bugayong
“Its clean, macho look plus its safety features make it the best SUV” – Raine Calagui
“Awesome! Looks great as ever & the safety features… even better!” – Irwin Jazul
“I love the safety features… for mom drivers like me. Secured feeling behind the wheels.” – Lynn Jazul Laqui
“Another beautifully made car from Toyota! Best after sales too” – Bianca Kristine Flores
“We have the older Fortuner, I’m excited for this new model! #FortunerPowerToLead” – Benjamin Olfindo
“Listening to these songs remind me of times when we can just get in the car and play their songs while enjoying long drives with friends and loved ones. We truly hope Ely’s music, as well as the other artists we featured during our past digital launches this year, was able to give our Toyota fans some good vibes during these challenging times. You see for us at Toyota, it always is more than just selling cars. It is about creating meaningful connections with our Toyota customers, past, present and future! Also, because Toyota is cool.” says TMP Vice President for Marketing Services Ms. Elijah Marcial “While we can only enjoy digital concerts for now, we look forward to the next time we can watch our favorite artists live, or even just jam to their songs while enjoying the open road again.” she added.
