Toyota Unveils New Slogan: “Drive a Toyota. You’ll Never Stop.”
Hopes to Reverse Public Relations Setbacks


TOKYO (The Borowitz Report) – Hoping to reverse a series of public relations setbacks, Toyota today unveiled a new slogan, “Drive a Toyota. You’ll Never Stop.”

Company spokesman Hiroshi Kyosuke said that the slogan was chosen after the company considered several others, including “Toyota Puts the Pedal to the Metal. And Keeps it There.”

Mr. Kyosuke said that the company considered, but then abandoned, the slogan, “Toyota. The Last Car You’ll Ever Drive.”

5. Mr. Toyota has avoided press, and then drove away in an Audi
Edited on Tue Feb-09-10 01:57 PM by JPZenger
NPR had a story this morning where a commentator was criticizing Mr. Toyota, the Co. President, for not being out in front during this debacle. He had avoided the press, until the last 2 days. Last week, the press finally cornered him with a couple questions outside of a conference. Mr. Toyota then jumped into the back of an Audi and was driven away.
