[edit] History
Ignatius founded Loyola Pilgrimages in 1431, where he and his friend Francis of Xavier sell pilgrimages to Rome and Jerusalem. The Pope saw it as an excellent way to spread God's Word and Xavier then expanded the industry to Asia, where he converted lots of Asians to Christianity. When they all died out, the business name changed to Loyola Fertilizers and Carriages, producing fertilizer and carriages. The name changed to Loyola Motors in 1933, when they started importing cars, and then begin manufacturing cars in 1963, under Francisco Franco.
[edit] 1960s
Loyola's first model car was a rebadged Ford Mustang, called the Loyola Xavier, first released in 1963. The Loyola Xavier is the most powerful car of that day. It had 200 horsepower and could go up to 290km/h. It had the best Basque technology money can buy and was sold for ₧40000. A dictator named Francisco Franco owned this car and he took it for a ride. He loved it to bits. It was a huge success that the Loyola Xavier became the top-selling car in Spain until today. So the second model, the Ignatius, was released to keep up with the Xavier sales. First released in late 1969, it was larger than the Xavier and was actually an SUV. Anyway, sales went high and the value of the Ignatius plummeted from ₧100000 from its release to ₧50000. The value was also decreased to that of the competing Crapmobile.
[edit] 1970s
By 1976, when Loyola's car quality had decreased since Franco rotted to Hell, Loyola released their third model, which was appearantly a piece of shit, called the Loyola LR1000, which was the competitor to the Crapmobile's POS (Piece of Shit). Sales reduced dramatically, and the price of the car was ₧100000. Struggling for money, Loyola exported the Xavier and the Ignatius to France and the UK, where they laughed at their cars because of the crappy paint job, their cars are made out of tin and how they f**ked up their cars. Sold for twenty thousand quid (or forty thousand francs), the Xavier became the top-selling car in the UK and France.
At the same time, the Japanese companies are taking over the car industry, and Loyola started to fail. So the fourth model, the Loyola Navarre, was released in 1979. The quality was much better than the 1970s, but have to face competition form Toyota, which released the Corolla. The Navarre was Loyola's first small car and therefore, was used as a Popemobile for Pope John Paul II, where it was built to a higher quality than the other Navarres manufactured. The Navarre was still manufactured today, but it was the first car to have a huge tower at the rear end for the Popemobile.
[edit] 1980s and beyond
In 1981, the Xavier was given a major overhaul. Sales reached a total of 12000 cars per year. The LR1000 ceased production and the LR2000 replaced it. It's also the first model to reach the American shores, along with the Navarre and the Xavier. It won many awards and then Loyola introduced the Loyola Basque in 1986, which is a cross between the Toyota Corolla and the Ford Falcon. Still, it managed to look like Crapmobile's POS family car and sold tonnes of it. It starts to become the largest automobile manufacturer in Europe, but not until VW took over then in 1992.
Meanwhile, there are several lawsuits to Loyola from Crapmobile, Toyota and Ford, and Loyola started to become everything, from a school to a building construction company. Today, Loyola is innovating technology from Toyota to produce the best high quality cars money can buy. So the newest slogan appeared as "Oh what a feeling! Loyola!", "We Love Loyola" and "Moving forward by angels". Some of Loyola's models were cheap rip-offs of the Toyota models.
[edit] That Trademark Loyola Quality
[edit] Safety and Quality
Loyola's trademark is the total lack of quality control in the 1960s and the 1970s, but quickly improved in the 1980s. This trademark applies to many of Loyota's vehicles. For instance, there was a 1976 incident where all Loyola Xavier and Navarre models were made of unpainted tin and asbestos.
These uses of poor materials have caused the bodies of vehicles to completely fall apart as people are driving them, as well as the many other low-quality Loyola vehicles, such as the Australian version of the Loyola Xavier (this car was released in Australia in 1975), which also suffer from this "cancer." This amazing ability to rust-apart now comes standard in the 1986 Loyola Basked-in-the-Sun (formerly the Basque).
[edit] Their failed project
The project of their own version of the Ford Pinto, called the Loyola Womanresa, started in 1978. It was known as "the Korean Barbecue that seats four" because it was made in Loyola's factory in Seoul, South Korea, plus that the car blows up like the Ford Pinto.
Early models have an external combustion engine, but due to 24 deaths, and a further 10 deaths occuring, they replaced it with the internal combustion engine, called the Loyola Cunt. 34 people have known to die in this car, yet many people still bought it. The problem is that the Loyola Womanresa has a shape that looks like a spear, making it blow up when the car hits its rear end. It comes as a coupe only.
