Owner of car dealership labeled "Taliban Toyota" wins millions

[Platapus]

Sounds like a good court decision.

I am assuming that Bob Tyler Toyota will be looking for a new salesman or perhaps even a new GM. I don't think Toyota of North America appreciates this type of publicity.

A Bob Tyler salesman was accused of telling the same couple that Esfahani was from Iraq and calling him a "terrorist" who put soldiers including the salesman's brother in harm's way.
"(Esfahani) is funneling money back to his family and other terrorists. I have a brother over there and what you're doing is helping kill my brother," the salesman told the couple when he called them on the Eastern Shore sales floor, according to the suit.

That's pretty low even for a car salesman (which is not exactly a high bar)


Captainmattj, I presume that determining whether there was lost business was one of the factors that the court was determining.
