It's called financing. And when a dealer can provide an environment like THAT for the consumer, you know that they've got their s#it together for sure.

That place is WHERE you want to do business.

It mentions that there is a special showroom for Scion customers. I wonder if it is a stand-alone showroom like ours.

All I have to say is FREE STARBEYS!!!!
You can bet that if I worked there ALL of my customers would "want" some free Starbucks

and strangly no reply from Longo Scion.

The town may have given them tax breaks to take over an exsisting biulding that was sitting. Not a bad idea if you have an abandonded store just lying around. Besides, there isnt a hell of alot going on in Ohio anyway. LOL

Our Scion showroom is so plush that we've not only got Starbucks coffee, but someone comes in and drinks it for you so you don't burn your tongue. AND a pool table, AND an olympic-sized swimming pool, and an Oriental masseuse, AND a Walmart. It's so big George Lucas is filming his next Star Wars movie right here. He's going to use a Scion as a tC-wing fighter! And the evil Jedi Knights will all work in the finance department.
So there.

Man that's sweet. Scott Clark and Rick Hendrick of Hendrick's Racing are building a huge Auto complex off Independence and I-485 in Charlotte, NC soon. I suspect it's going to be big, I saw a rough sketch of the building.
