Can you guess?
True story:
I was at a dealership for a test drive of a new model over the weekend. This is a higher end foriegn car dealership. After the drive we sat down to discuss the price or so I thought. After going over the options I wanted, I was told by the salesman that he needed to go over it with his sales manager.
5 minutes later he came back and started to write down some more information.
10 minutes later he comes back with someone (his sales manager I learned) and the manager basically tells me that since I am not commited to the car they are not going to provide a price. I had been sitting for a good 15 minutes at this point. I left a little perplexed, but went to see other dealerships
Subsequent communcations basically said that I should commit to the car before knowing the price (i.e. commit to our product before knowing how much it's going to cost you). Weird right?
Anyways, can you guess what brand I am talking about?

Well shoot, I was half right 
. IMO they have become really pretentious, and that method of sales is very poor, especially at this time. They should have respectfully told you the price, and then worked something out with you. It's an Audi....not a Ferrari.
