LOL!

It’s a deal. We left Chicago when I was 10, I’d love to roll back in in a Lamborghini.

Nice car!!! And they are nicer at Volvo (my wife worked there for a time, at the Oakville dealership).

I always found VW and Audi to be a bit friendlier than BMW…

(which might be why I have a VW)

Don’t worry, I’ll give him back to you!

Perhaps try a busier dealership next time, and do a little role playing?

I went to the BMW in Oakville one time, dressed in a suit, in my silver Jetta, all freshly washed and waxed. I handed them a business card, and got a test drive in a brand new M3… yeah baby!

I still need to come into Ottawa to meet Lion for lunch some time, and I want to go test drive one of the new Mitsubishi Evo’s, maybe we can go car shopping together!

Yes, absolutely, there should be a lot of applications right within this same target market.

Doing research for this post I did find that they have some women customers as well, but it does seem their customers are mainly men.

Friar,

Without the necessary elements, how can you properly call it a mid-life crisis, then?

(Wendi again—my thoughts exactly.)

Amy,

It’s a little or a lot crazy, unless you consider the price tag on owning one of these babies. Spending an entire day driving a selection of five of them (on a racetrack no less, so as fast as you dare) would be an amazing thrill for some.

I think if I were interested, I’d look at it as my vacation money for the year, all used up in one WOW day. I’m not that into speed so it doesn’t interest me, but oh I would like to try driving them just to see what all the fuss is about. When they roll out the slow annoying bore version, I might show up.

Panther,

That’s what I think it would be perfect for (in the clip I think there are a couple of guys who got the day as a gift from their woman). If the man isn’t having a mid-life crisis, he’s probably too responsible to spoil himself like this, so a gift from his lady may be the only way he’d get to experience it. But it’s a mighty substantial gift, for sure. What struck me most after I got over the “Oh, cool!” factor, was the lesson in the business model.

How stupid of that BMW salesperson. Spoil the customer, win the customer, maybe for life—many car buyers are very loyal. Annoy the customer, say goodbye!

Until later,

Kelly

When I was car shopping, I thought I wanted a mini Clubman. However, when we got to the dealership, there was only one in the showroom, and none to test drive. The attitude of the saleman was ‘this is so hot we can only keep one in stock at any given time. And you don’t need to test drive it; it’s a BMW, that’s all you need to know’. Oh, this so backfired. We turned on our heels and walked out.

Okay, I’d better start writing:
