It's called "marketing". Everyone does it. Ever buy anything from Nike WITHOUT the swoosh? Does Starbucks put their coffee in plain cups?

Here's a painless solution: Ask the dealer to remove it.

I usually have the dealership take all their decals off as part of the PDI. JM Lexus only puts a chrome license plate frame on each car which is pretty subtle so I left it on until I could find a frame I really like.

Actually, it would be more like if you bought a Nike shirt from ****'s Sporting Goods and they put a "****'s Sporting Goods" logo beneath the swoosh.

Not apples to apples. The car already has the company logos on it from the factory. When you buy shoes, it also has a company logo on it. But they don't come stamped with "Foot Locker" on the side or back.
