Should Automobile dealerships be given the right to refuse Test drives.

Yes it does not only happen in India,a BMW dealership refused a customer a test-drive of the 1 series because they thought he was not a serious enough customer.

BMW Denies Test Drive Because You Are Not A "Serious Customer"

In India we too have the same behavior from dealerships of manufacturers like Skoda for instance.Ask them for a test drive of the Laura and they think you are playing a joke on them.So should these dealers be given this right of refusing test-drives.

Although I understand the difficulties faced by the dealers I think no,after all a single test drive is not going to be as expensive as the loss of a potential customer and many more even.Moreover I just do not understand why the premium tag means dealers think it is their duty to adopt an arrogant attitude something fairly common at the Honda dealership here.
