salesman know less than we do about whats coming out. if i told a salesman a purple dinosaur with a 7.0l v8 was coming out in 2010, he would tell you a orange monkey with a 9.0l was coming out in a few months. | |

Unfortunately that's true... The salesmen barely know what they have when its there on the lot, let alone the inside secret stuff. | |

Salesman know NOTHING.
Hell... they don't even know what they have in stock even.
When I was looking for my Formula and I wanted a Formula and I wanted white as well. The salesman looked all over the lot and even the storage lot for the car I wanted. Finally, we get back to the dealership from the storage lot and another salesman ask him what I was looking for. He then turned around and told him, "You iddot.... there is one of those setting inside on the showroom floor."
I nearly died... after all that... I walk into the showroom and there set the exact car I wanted!!!!
At least I have to give him credit for trying...LOL... and at least I got the car I wanted!!!!!! Which in the end is the most important part. | |

I had an owner of a dealership tell me the Bird will be back. I also heard from a good source that if the Camaro doesn't sell the 100,000 units to be profitable then the bird will be back. Don't hold your breath though  | |

If the Camaro doesn't sell, the bird comes back, that's probably the biggest load of bull I've heard yet.
