I was in the showroom for about an hour yesterday looking at the G35 and the I35. I wasn't hassled by any sales people for a full hour!! I even started up the I35 in the showroom (the keys were in the cup holder) a few heads turned but nothing was said. I blasted the stereos, even went out to the car and got one of my own CDs. All the while no one said a word. A salesman came in and before I could fire off my questions he grabbed a cup off his desk and turned his back to leave. It got kinda creepy after awhile.
I left and went to look at an Escalade and before I could park at the Caddy dealer I had a salesman in my rear view mirror approaching quickly and one at the passenger side door. When I said I was just burning time while the wife was at the beauty parlor they had already valued my "trade-in" and were asking about down payments. I said "I don't want to buy an Escalade, I want to look at one.." he said "but I can sharpen the pencil up for you and make the numbers look right!!"
If I could have found a happy medium amongst the sales staff I would have bought a car, either the G35 or the I35. But they gave me time to listen to reason (wife) and lost a sale.
