Toyota takes over a failing Ford and keeps its current slogan...sort of..

Hmmm...I like that one!

Now seriously, I would not mind if Ford went back to their "Have you driven a Ford lately". It worked well for them before and it is even more fitting now.

Hyundai. Think About It.
Ford. Drive One.
Toyota. Oops!

crooner214 · 03-18-2008, 04:26 PM

FORD. Buy one. Please.

Hotspur · 03-18-2008, 04:57 PM

"Drive One"??!! That's it??

How about - "Ford. Very Sad."

Saturn69 · 03-18-2008, 05:04 PM

"Ford. Drive one"...as opposed to, what? Kicking one? Peeing on one? What else are you supposed to do with a car? Stupid slogan, Ford.

It's sort of like Nixon saying "I am not a crook."

Wait... so... people think you are a crook, Nixon?

"Ford. Drive one." is basically telling us that people don't drive Fords.

Retarded.

I always heard it as

F#@&in'
Old
Rebuilt
Dodge

Also, don't forget

F#@&ed
On
Race
Day

and

Fix
Or
Repair
Daily

Or did we already have that last one?

Ford stuck with "Have You Driven a Ford Lately?" for 15 years. It worked marevlously for them. In the past 10 years or so, they have not stuck with a slogan for more than a couple years ("Built Ford Tough" for trucks excluded) because they were not effective. I doubt this one will be effective. It is too short and authoritative sounding. As previously mentioned, it sounds like a German command. "Ford - Drive One! Deutschland uber Alles! Mach schnell!"

Threadkiller · 03-18-2008, 08:11 PM

What else would you do with a car?

"Ford. Attach A Basketball Hoop To One."
"Ford. Fill One Up With Ice and Beer."
"Ford. Use One As A Fully Enclosed AM/FM Radio"

rcracedriver · 03-18-2008, 09:46 PM

I guess there goes "Chevy, Drive it."

Actually, Despite being designed for Walter Chrysler in his favorite art-deco style, the Chryler building isn't owned by Chrysler. Its owned by a school, Cooper-Union... It is the tallest brick building in the world and IMO still one of the prettiest. Obviously, I'm in New York...
