The Nissan dealers around Los Angeles I've contacted regarding leasing the new Roadster continue to use caveman mentality.

I've been driving BMW Z4's for eight years or so and still considering leasing the new Z4. However, the 370Z Roadster is such a great car that I am looking into seeing what kind of lease Nissan might have. Most BMW dealers as usual, have no problem giving me lease details (residual, money factor, drive-off fees, etc) on their cars. For some reason, Nissan dealers assume each inquiry they receive is from some idiot who knows nothing and they push you into coming into the dealership to close you. They avoid answering real questions and refuse to give numbers behind their 'estimates' which is usually just a ridiculous monthly payment. Especially in this day and age when you can shop online and get all the info you need before buying.

I am leaning towards the Nissan more and more but if dealers' salesmen continue to act like their stereotype, I will simply go with BMW who at least is straightforward and no-nonsense with what they can offer, and turns out, might be the better deal after all.
