I found this quite strange, would be interested in others thoughts.

My late father was your typical old school business man (haulage contractor) & most of his life refused to buy a Japanese car because of "what those ***** did to our soldiers in WW2"

Fair comment, his choice & he lived through the war years so who am I to make it right or wrong.

This, however I found very surprising,

One friend has a company car, is allowed a choice at renewal time, but nothing japanese (the holding company is American)

One of our sales reps is not allowed anything German (company shareholders are jewish)

I know there's no right or wrong here, everyone has a choice, but it does make me wonder how long the hatred will continue down the generations.
