Different worlds.
For what it's worth, if you can demonstrate that you have the financial means and are serious about a purchase, most high end auto dealers will gladly oblige pretty much any request you have, certainly including a test drive.
They have to know you're serious though, because racking up 50-100 miles in random test drives actually takes a pretty significant ding off the price of a Bentley or a Ferrari, whereas a Scion or Subaru with 700 miles on it can still be sold as "new" at full MSRP by a dealership if the car has never been sold.
The local Lambo shop certainly isn't going to entertain joy ride test drives by every schmo who thinks it would be fun, but when they know there's an actual, real potential for a $300,000 sale, they're not going to tell you "no."

I think that's a function of each individual dealer vs. a blanket policy. I've been on a couple Chevy lots who were happy to suggest we take a C7 out.
