There's a certain attitude at some makes, however. Like when I drove into the Jaguar dealership with my 335i. Jaguar does not make a 6 cyl. car for lowlifes like me. When I told the old man (looked like the mgr) that I was here to test drive the new XJ (Dec 2010) and get my free Odyssey White Ice putter, he said, "Nobody here can help you with that." LOL I told him here, you sign it, you can help (just to get a rise out of him). Mind you this was 10 am on a weekday, 3 sales people standing around doing nothing with no customers. One guy came over and asked me to have a seat, and came back 15 min. later. That's just plain arrogance--and they deserve the poor economy and their poor sales numbers. Kinda karma. And I got my free putter.
