People love cars. To be honest, they are mad about them. Cars are the spellbinding aspect of the vastly spread automobile industry. They are the mixture of poise and aggression reflecting your personality traits. As Alexandra Paul said, “The cars we drive say lot about us.” Therefore everyone is so individualistic about the choices and the brands they opt for. Thanks to some auto-makers, the standards of car-making have been raised so high that for fulfilling customers’ expectations, companies need to be top-notch in Performance, Aesthetics and Service (PAS). Any company meeting these norms will definitely be the customers’ favourite.
Certainly, ‘PAS’ parameters are the most important one, but one cannot deny the fascination of a catchy tagline any automobile brand possesses. A tagline or a catchphrase reflects the ideology and vision of the company. It is a short set of words which delivers a memorable phrase about a brand’s core values. It is evident that a portion of crowd gets attracted towards a particular brand because of the brand’s creative catchphrase. So here are taglines of few globally famous car-making brands.
