Voltswagen Name Change Is a Prank, VW Is Now Saying

Volkswagen must be new to this whole April Fools’ prank-pulling thing, because it’s not doing it right. Less than 48 hours after news “leaked” that it was rebranding under the Voltswagen name and then confirming it, comes another statement saying it was all just a prank. It’s ok if you lost track of what has come to be a hilarious lesson in how not to do marketing.
