大众汽车谎称改名大众电车

Volkswagen of America issued false statements this week saying it would change its brand name to “Voltswagen”. A company spokesman confirmed Tuesday that the statement had been a pre-April Fool’s Day joke. Volkswagen’s intentionally fake news release coincides with its efforts to repair its image as it tries to recover from a 2015 scandal.
