I have known people who worked for the automotive companies in
Detroit.  They do indeed dictate what you drive.  If it is not one of
the cars they manufacture, you cannot park in their lots.  It wouldn't
surprise me at all if companies where employees might drive clients
around in their personal cars would "advise" their employees as to
what kind of cars they should be driving.

One has the freedom not to work for places that require this.
