Our local P dealer on the other hand let us drive both a base and an S; another P car dealer did the same. Seems to me if you want people to plunk down $45-50K on a car, they should be allowed to get it out on the road to see if they like it.
That just amazes me that they would expect someone to buy a vehicle without a test drive first. When I was out boxster shopping I saw a used base model at some saturn dealership. I just got done test driving a Z4 and M-roadster accross the street at the BMW dealership. The saturn salesmen wouldn't let me take it for a test drive because he thought I was just some punk fresh out of college. He was trying to point me to the saturn EON's or whatever they are. I eventually ended up getting a brand new 03 S at Tom Woods which is a dealership in Indy. They let me take out the car without the salesmen ridalong and they were very helpful. I knew that was the right car and the right dealership.
