I'm sure that my wife will be more than content to settle for a new Toyota rather than subsidize an executive who believes our deepest held values are "myopic".

Wasn't it at the "shakedown" Toyota meeting last year that Jackson's thug son roughed up the B.O.N.D. chairman, Peterson......for asking why they donated to Rainbow PUSH and not other worthwhile black organizations?

I think Toyota actually has backed off the deal now. I saw something scanning through FR so I can't verify it.

Still, I've had so many issues between GM and Ford, and I've accidentally broken handles off new Chryslers in the new car lot while just looking (we left rather quickly...)

Toyota and Lexus are the most reliable cars I've ever driven. In the end, my decision will come down to what I feel is better for my family. I've never known Chrysler to be anything but garbage and on top of this, if nothing else it places them beyond consideration now.

As for the "Revrund" I think a lot of corporations are "rethinking" their deals with him right now. Who can afford to cater to him, he's blown most of his political capital just keeping out of jail I suspect at this point.

Maybe it was that incident that persuaded Toyota to sever the connection. I did read a thread here on FR (a letter to Daimler by some Christian group, as I recall) that said that Toyota has been persuaded not to donate any longer to Jackson.
