Well, I've been denied a test drive of STi, an EVO X, and had two Nissan dealers deny me a test drive of the 370 (ironically Infiniti allowed me to test the more expensive G37S). A third Nissan dealer let me test drive a 370 but it was a demo with 1000 km on it. A fourth Nissan dealer let me test drive a new yellow 370, which I ended up buying.
Now, I can understand being denied a test drive of a scuderia, or r8, or even a gt-r for that matter, but come on. These are just 40000 dollar cars that will lose half their value in a couple of years anyway. They're by no means exotic cars. They all told me I have to make a deal and put a deposit first before getting a test drive!?!?!?! Heck, I was allowed to test drive the much more upscale 335i, no questions asked. Personally, those dealers that pulled off this no test drive stunt with me, I just tell them to go screw themselves and take my money and my business elsewhere. They need my money much more than I need their car.
