wasnt joyride used in a toyota spot which the tiwanese govenment pulled cause like the europeans the title had a connotation of kids stealing cars and driving around the city or something?

The Toyota word is because in Taiwan the they used Roxette’s Joyride and The Look in Toyota’s commercial films here.
