This.
At the AToC this year, a friend and I were walking around the village waiting for the race to come back and stopped by the Trek booth just because it was one of the only bike manufacturer booths there. We both don't like Treks due solely to their visual appearance. Nissan was raffling off a polkadot Madone and we both entered. We figured that neither of us would buy one, but if we won it, we'd probably ride it. Or maybe sell it and get a bike that isn't hideous.
But really, the only times I've ever seen Treks shot down immediately is when someone puts one in the HrN, or buys one second hand.
