I can't believe that people ever tolerated dealers drilling holes in a brand-new car and affixing an ugly emblem/logo, but that's the way they did it in MN. when I was a kid. The logo gets dingy and rusty over time, plus rust grew from the holes they drilled.

I remember my Dad buying a new Mercedes SL back in the '70s and telling the dealer that if they put their emblem on the trunk, he would not take the car. They didn't do it, but only because the salesman believed him. They actually drilled holes and added an emblem to new Benzes, and people tolerated it. Un-freaking-believable.

What everyone else said; I would ask them how much they were going to knock off the lease every month for advertising. Asshats.
i have refused SEVERAL new cars for this exact reason...took my buisness elsewhere afterwards as well
