He said that he cannot let us drive the car as the people that buy these cars just come in and buy it outright. We were like, "how are we supposed to know if we like it without a test drive? This is a $110k car." He said the people that buy these cars don't need to test drive them. So we either put down a $5k deposit, or we don't drive it.

On to the Audi R8 and possibly RS7 if they have one in stock.
That very same thing happened to me when I bought my first Porsche. I was looking at a used Boxster at a lexus dealership about a year after they came out. I went to test drive, they said NO, people buy them or they don't, but we don't let anyone test drive this car. It was only $50k or so... I said OK and left. Went to the Porsche dealer, they handed me the keys and said come back whenever. My wife and I test drove it...came back and ordered a new one. Dealerships are dumb!
