So we're trusting that the journalist got the marque right? Seriously...

I just heard CNN call a car "The Toyota Lexus." Riiight.

I watched that video thinking it was on tape.

However, I agree 100%...he should be in his own product.

So corporate and government leaders from around the world attend an economic conference in Switzerland. Someone there is in charge of making arrangements for accommodations, security and secure transportation of the attendees. And the company booked for secure transportation of these leaders happens to use a luxury automobile brand because, well they are VIPs.

This should be moved to the conspiracy forum!

Plus, wasn't the production of the accelerators before he became the CEO?
"didn't Bush double our national debt from 5 trillion to 10 trillion?"

That's the same kind of question, but unfortunately in all cases, the buck stops with the leader, whether or not it was inherited.

Ding, ding! We have a winner. It wasn't his own car, but was provided to chauffeur him and other leaders around. Geez, it's so plain and simple and people debate about its hidden meanings and such?
