"Progress through technology" or as some might have it "Lead by technology"
....as the German's didn't advertise it.
Interesting article about the British chap who dreamt up the famous advertising concept : 'Vorsprung durch Technik"

Oh, they'll likely be off-setting that carbon footprint against the future executive globe-trotting travel of Martin Winterkorn and his cronies, if they get their 10 years expected prison time for emissions fraud.

The "135" is the recent radio ad by Jeep, for a PHEV. "Figures may vary..."
Did you see that recent post about Prius, on a rural test-drive? How far on batt alone?

Re: Car Slogans/tag lines/marketing phrases
I think it was one of mine Chris, from my slightly sarcastic stable! I think you remarked that the vid was a bit Peter Cook and Dudley Moore whose timing may have been more spot on than Jonathon Porterfield et al from Eco Cars up in Orkney but they made their point in a reasonably entertaining waywhite exec wrote: ↑08 Jul 2021, 09:06 Did you see that recent post about Prius, on a rural test-drive?

Re: Car Slogans/tag lines/marketing phrases
Whilst I am now fully converted as to the futility of the self charging hybrid I think it's only fair to point out that, as you know, I had a brand new Prius T Spirit in 2007 and on the second day of my ownership I tried two distinct battery tests, 1- normal route between Hertford and Luton and 2- Flat, empty stretch of the A41 between Edgware and Watford at 02.00 to avoid traffic interference. On test one the car managed 3.1 miles, travelling at normal traffic speeds in 30 and 40 mph limits, on the battery and on test 2 3.8 miles travelling at 40mph, 4.1 miles travelling at 30mph! Just to put the record straight!!
I used to be indecisive, now I'm not so sure!
I used to ride on two wheels, but now I need all four!

Re: Car Slogans/tag lines/marketing phrases
I don't think they were ever intended to be driven very far on battery alone, just far enough to get them into ULEZ zones, and get the company seen as somehow green. It worked, for a while, before they were rumbled.

Re: Car Slogans/tag lines/marketing phrases
Yes you are right there Chris, I only got mine because I was working inside the London Congestion Zone a lot of the time, so it only cost me £10 a year to register as an exempt vehicle!! I did take it to Spa in 2008 for the GP and it performed very well indeed, returning 58mpg for the weekend in comfort and with all mod cons so they were not entirely hopeless!
