Well, I've gotten at least a couple of dealers to sit up and take some notice. I appreciate that and anyone doing a wet test will appreciate that as well.
J McD, you asked if I was joking about reps having a checklist. I wasn't but perhaps it does seem a bit minor. Would a factory not give a dealer a line only because of the changing rooms? Doubtful but a good factory guy might just look at that sort of thing. Here, the local Cooper Mini dealer had a fit when the factory people told him his showroom was 1' smaller than their minimum standard. It cost him big $ and let a local gray market dealer make a killing. Anyway, I figured from there that maybe factory people would have a checklist that would include minimum square footage, signage and things like that.
Jdheffer, the shining star for me has also been the Marquis dealer. That mini locker room was really well thought-out and I mentioned that to the sales staff.
East_TX_Spa, unfortunately, the Hotspring product is out of my budget and I can't justify a wet test but I suspect their local dealer's showrooms have spotless changing rooms.
Again, thanks everyone for letting me vent and also for taking my suggestions to heart.
Jim
