I'm sure the dealers struggled with the idea of selling their showroom allocation for a high markup or keeping it available for people to see and test drive in hopes that they might order. I don't know what the right answer is but I would assume they would be more likely to generate orders (sales) by allowing people to test drive. I didn't need to drive one to know if I was going to order but I do know there are alot of people who will not buy unless they can drive. I also know people will buy/order impulsively and with no car to check out, no sale. I am not advocating letting someone drive a sold car but I am leaning towards they would be better off having one available at all times. Again, I'm sure this is a tough decision given the current sales environment.
