That pricing is pretty good IIRC and you can even sell your vehicle and get a new one every six months (again, going from memory) - I'm sure Meford or OAC will correct me if I'm wrong.
So, here's my point: if very beneficial pricing isn't good enough to solve the problem of "other" makes in the parking lots ... I seriously doubt that restricting said parking lots will be any more effective ... I think this is more about the bluster than the mustard.
Having said that, I do agree with the notion that you should support the company you work for by purchasing their product -- for the 15 years that Ford was a client I leased nothing but Fords.
So what exactly does this mean then; are there that many Ford employees driving "other" makes that this plant manager felt he had to do something about it?
Are there a lot of other makes at Ontario Assembly?
