Its not about the brand its about the dealer.

If what you're suggesting is that I should go home, get my bling, and return to the dealer to justify a test drive allowance, I will not now nor will I ever.
Nothing is more offensive than when a salesman asks:
How do you plan to pay for the car?
How much do you owe on your current car?
What can you afford as a monthly payment?
Those are fishing questions. And the salesman is fishing to see how far he can milk you. And I'm not going to wear a shiny piece of jewelry to tell the salesman, "Hey, I'm milkable"...
If you walk into a BMW dealership wearing a ripped t-shirt and jeans, they assume you are there to buy a car.
Clearly if you call into a Cadillac dealer and try to arrange a test drive, you are just some poor slob off the street that can't really afford the car anyway.
It's a prejudiced way to do business and it pains me that it's the American car companies that do it. I've walked into Porsche wearing sandals and shorts and they throw me the keys to anything...
I don't need to showcase my wealth to "earn" a test drive from some Cadi dealer... I'd rather drive a Schwinn.
