2. After a series of public relations setbacks, Japanese automaker Toyota unveiled a new company slogan in 2010. The slogan read, "Drive a Toyota. You'll never stop." The company hopes the new slogan can once again instill confidence into a number of consumers who grew weary of the brand after a number of massive recalls in recent years. The company chose to go with the slogan after turning down a number of others, including, "Toyota Puts the Pedal to the Metal. And keeps it there," and "Toyota. The Last Car You'll Ever Drive."
