Quick rant on dealerships

Rant on.

How the hell are you a cars salesman/dealership employee and not know much about the hottest sport car in 10 years coming from the same damn company you work for that has been in development since 2009?

You should be fired immediately.

Rant off.

What do you consider to be the "hottest sports car in 10 years?"

I like the salesmen that have to look at the window sticker when you ask about basic features of a car. I can understand checking to see which trim model the specific car is, or if it comes with any extras, but not knowing the basics about your products is very disappointing.

Ahh, but then that indicates to me for better haggling power.

Most salesman don't last beyond a few months so they don't really take the time to learn about cars that aren't even on lots yet.

Even after the FRS/BRZ is on lots for a while, you will run into salesman who still don't know all that much about the product.
