It has been reported that Al-Markazia, the exclusive dealer of the Toyota brand in Jordan, has stopped publishing an advertisement for its Toyota hybrid cars after being criticized from several newspapers and online news sites. The advertisement, which shows a man who is shooting himself with a gas pump nozzle, aims to highlight the rising prices of fuel in the Kingdom, thus promoting the savings to be made by driving a Toyota hybrid model. The advertisement copy says "Can't stand the price of petrol?".
