Products (2): Vocabulary Leech, English in Advertising, chapter 6

Products (4): Syntax Leech, English in Advertising, chapter 6

• The text is thus emotionally descriptive

PRESTIGE ADVERTISING• Environment Introduction
Toyota cares of its environment• Toyota in Europe has a clear vision for the future, a
growing market share, rapidly expanding manufacturing operations, an exciting range of vehicles - with state-of-the-art engines - and a proven track record of customer satisfaction. However, our success in Europe does not affect the attention we pay to the impact that our activities - and vehicles - have on the environment and we are strongly committed to reduce constantly these impacts over the time.
