Therein lies my problem with this whole thing. Why should it be up to the dealers if the parent company is accepting them? Maybe I'm just ignorant to franchise laws and what not but it is really absurd to put the customer, as well as the dealer, in that position. It really sends a mixed message to the customer who is looking to spend about $30K - $40K on one of their products. It's like he said she said and IMO looks pretty bad, especially considering the current state of affairs.
