I have said this before, but I think it needs repeating. Buy whatever you feel is best for you. However, if you are in the market to buy, please test drive those vehicles that have supported your programs. I am not asking you to spend money on a car you don't want, but I am asking you to evaluate your options off of experience an not pre-concieved notion, or what the car rags are telling you.
If these companies have donated time and money to a cause you find near and dear to your heart, then go check out their products and compare them fairly to their competition. What you will find is some a better, some are worse, some are better value, some are not.

Also, please be aware that GM, Ford, and Chrysler sponsor more than just teams. They have been major sponsors of awwards, regionals, and FIRST as a whole. If they are not able to contribute to FIRST as a whole, we all should be concerned.

P.S.
Car and Driver and Motor Trend are loyal to their sponsors! If there is a shoot out between several cars, I can tell you who will win based almost solely of looking at the ads in the magazine. Use your brains, not theirs when looing for a car or truck.
