Truth In Automobile Advertising

Auto Week has a very funny discussion thread on “Slogans Automakers Should Have Used.” There are some beauts there, including:

Honda: So bland you can safely recommend our entire line to your mother.
The New 5-Series: We fixed the E39 until it broke.
Corvette Convertable: Tans your bald spot faster.
Chevy SS line-up: It’s not Torque Steer, it’s character.
Acura: Shhh. They’ll think the wood is real.
Ford Five Hundred: Want To Go Faster? Get Out And Push.
The All New 2005 Chevrolet Cobalt — Quality, Refinement and Driving Dynamic [are] Overrated.
Mercedes-Benz: Pray it breaks before the warranty is up.
GM: Some people never learn.
Toyota Prius: Environmentally Friendly. Visually Offensive.
GM: We’ll hold the ball, you run up and kick it.
Ford Explorer: Like your IRA, we’ll rollover.
Scion xB: Now, your kids’ll never crack 100 mph!

Heh. There are dozens more like ’em, so go check out the thread.
