Cars and their Tag Lines

The other month I had the radio on and was trying not to listen to the adverts but without helping myself heard the most ludicrous & completely meaningless tag line. Since then I’ve started noticing others especially those thought up by car manufacturers. So I thought I’d share some with you, although you might not thank me …

Subaru
When You Get It, You Get It (ugh?)

Ford
Feel The Difference (from …?)

Volkswagen
Relieves Gas Pains (mmmmm, that’s better!)

Toyota
Build Your Toyota (what for? I thought Toyota built them!)

Pontiac
We Are Driving Excitement (what happened to the car?)

Kia
The Car that Cares (aargh!)

Skoda
Bigger, Better, Happier (who me, or the car?!)

Cadillac
The Penalty of Leadership (no,you’ve lost me!)

SAAB
Move your mind (I’d prefer it to stay where it is!)

Nissan
Which 4x4 are you? (none of them – I’m not a car!)

Vauxhall
Self assured with a dash of cheekiness (I give up!!!)

If you come across any others please let me know. Perhaps we could start up our own awards ceremony for the worst!

And to finish this blog entry here’s a funny story about another ad …
comparethemeerkat.com is one of Jeff’s favourites. Now we both like watching birds in our garden and one species just happens to have black feathers on its head from which it gets its name ‘Blackcap’. A couple of weeks ago before he went to work Jeff left a black cat shaped oven glove and a note headed DON’T BE CONFUSED on my desk. The note also had two arrows, one pointing to the glove with the words ‘comparetheblackcat.com’ and the other out into the garden with the words ‘comparetheblackcap.com’. I laughed out loud.
