What your CEO drives says a lot

http://www.usatoday.com/money/autos/2007-12-10-ceo-cars_N.htm?loc=interstitialskipCars often are big attention grabbers. That's especially true when it comes to what the CEO drives, according to USA Today.

Wal-Mart founder Sam Walton famously drove a pickup. Warren Buffett, worth $42 billion, drove a silver 2001 Lincoln Town Car with Nebraska plates THRIFTY until he auctioned it for charity on eBay last year for $73,200.

When Alan Mulally moved from Boeing to be CEO of Ford last year he caught flak for calling his Lexus the finest car in the world just when Ford was introducing him as its new leader. Now, he "rotates through an array" of Ford vehicles, Ford spokesman Mike Moran says.
