On my test drive of a 6A/T, the supremely overconfident salesboy told me:

"This has 245 horsepower, same as a Mazdaspeed 3 and almost as fast" (The car he currently owns)

"I don't know why the shift lever moves sideways" (I showed him and then demonstrated the paddle shift and rev match feature I'd only read about)

"The rear seats do not fold down" (I believed him until finding the trunk straps and just for laughs pulled on one and the seatback of course dropped flat)

In fairness, he'd been a car salesman a little short of two weeks. I gently suggested he take some brochures home to study at night and check out this site, but he was busy texting his GF.
