The thing that really gets me about this whole employee discount scheme is that it shows clearly, for any poor souls still in doubt, that the auto industry is reaping some very, very large profits on each vehicle they sell. I drove a Cadillac the other day where the employee discount was more than $10,000. Alas, the barriers to entry are so high in the auto industry these days that we aren't likely to see competitive pricing changes in the near future, I fear.

The peculiar evil of silencing the expression of an opinion is, that it is robbing the human race; posterity as well as the existing generation; those who dissent from the opinion, still more than those who hold it. If the opinion is right, they are deprived of the opportunity of exchanging error for truth: if wrong, they lose, what is almost as great a benefit, the clearer perception and livelier impression of truth, produced by its collision with error. ~John Stuart Mill, On Liberty
