What will your next car be?

I just sit in one of two luxury lounges and drink free coffee and choose from dozens of snacks... and the porter comes to find me and hand over the keys. Tipping the porter is not permitted... so I'm told.

Unlike the local Toyota dealers, the Cadillac/Buick dealer makes the customer feel VERY special. It's a refreshing experience.

That sounds pretty cool. Dealership visits, for me, have always been on the enthusiasm level of visiting the dentist or doctor.

As a long time Toyota owner, that's been my experience at Toyota dealerships as well. Actually, I'd rather get my teeth cleaned than suffer poor service and the bad attitude of a Toyota service writer.

I NEVER thought I'd be driving a vehicle with an American badge, but I love the car... and the dealer knows how to make the customer feel valued... something I have NEVER felt at the Toyota store.

You can put a 4age engine in these bad boyz.

Great fun to drive as are all small cars you feel the road more the smaller the wheel base.

I've had the opposite experience.

I went to test drive cars and the nearby Ford dealership was empty - open till 8pm and I was there at 4:30. Not a sales person, receptionist or anything in sight. I almost left before someone snagged me at the back.

Same deal with a Chrysler dealership - it didn't even have any imports in the used lot - at all. The employees were playing games on their computers/phones and just kind of shrugged.

The Toyota dealerships were great, happy helpful employees in service and sales! Expensive as hell but a pleasure to deal with
