FWIW, I only half believe the argument I was making. But I do think it has merit.
Allowing test drives increases the cost of the car. If 82%+ of people say "I'd prefer to save $X,XXX on my purchase price than have test drives available" then killing test drives is "screwing" a small minority. Ya cant' make everyone happy, eh?
This offends me less than BMW's approach of neutering the product to save a buck.
