I've been to a local Saturn dealer three times looking a the SKY and threatening to buy one. At no time did any of the three different saleman know anything technical about the car except for basics such as horsepower nor could they explain how the Sky is different from the Pontiac roadster or how it differes from other roadsters out there. I'm trying to buy a $30K car and the sales guys don't know how to market it.
A buddy needs a light pick up truck so he goes to the largest Chevvy dealer in town and wants to buy a LUV pickup truck. The sales guy is ignorant re: technical aspects of the truck, adding no towing pkg or oil cooler is available however there is a tow bar option. The buddy goes to a local Honda dealer and learns the Honda pickup truck has a towing pkg, oil cooler, etc and a salesman who states "I'll work with you to get the truck the way you want it. Guess I'll go by that Honda dealership and check out there sporty cars.
No wonder American cars sales are tanking.
