    Well Jaguar attempted to target Gay people and that at them time was an untapped market.

    But still i dont really see why limit the situation? especially when its not in a very good point ATM?

    I recall the American Family Association boycotting Ford for their advertising to gay and lesbian groups. I've attatched a Volvo ad.

    It doesn't really matter the fact that they are black doesn't mean shit, they are just getting singled out. What about all of the poor white people who live in the south and can't get financed? That's what i thought the same reasoning applies here, if you can't pay your bills don't finance an eff'ing car. end of story.
    Wow! Your first paragraph pretty much hits the nail on the head. I was going to go into great detail to convey my point, but I believe you have said it all. If I was a minority I wouldn't want you to process my next loan.

    P.S. The following is the link to the other story I referenced. I'm done with this thread.

    And apparently my point hasn't been made clear.

    " About forty percent of white customers were charged a dealer mark-up on financing "

    You don't think poor whites don't get marked up either based on credit?

    "The amount of the dealership mark-up, or whether one is charged, is decided by the auto dealers, not by the lending institution, said Meredith Libbey, a spokeswoman for Primus. "

    Wow gee wiz, there captain, it looks like the DEALER is doing the mark ups and not the Financing Business.
    You're an idiot, read your own damn articles before you try to prove a point. rather then reading the eff'ing title. Tool.

    We can always get Obama to save our asses.
    I'm dropping out to create a company that starts with motorcycles, then cars, and forty years later signs a legendary Brazilian driver who has a public and expensive feud with his French teammate.
