There's a lot of variation. In a lot of places, BMW and Porsche places are plenty happy to throw you the keys and go drive.
For those that are going trash mouth on the non-Corvette dealers keep in mind that plenty of Chevy dealers won't give you a test drive in a Corvette (in both of mine, I was limited to 10 miles, 50 mph, no freeway) so the main point here is that car dealers as a whole have a lot of bad apples among them.

I know which dealer you went to. I grew up in Newport on Balboa Blvd. and I've also gotten horrible service from them (27 years ago). I was with my father and he ended up going next door to Newport Imports. We waived and laughed at the Porsche salesmen as we drove home in my fathers' new Ferrari. I guess thing haven't changed in almost 3 decades.

Yep, that's the dealer. Ferrari finally opened a dealership down the street. Before that you would have to drive all the way down 19th to Ferrari/Maserati in Costa Mesa. Anyhow, the smaller PCH dealers always seem pretty good about customer service. Any good dealers up in SaMo? I'm up at USC for classes every week and wouldn't mind checking out some good dealerships

A bad company won't figure it out even if I tell them.
