I don't think it would be much different than any other marque. When I was partnered in a dealership, we sold a lot of high-end stuff (Porsches, Corvettes, MB, BMW) and the clientele was probably worse for those cars. Very rarely did you get someone who was passionate about cars or driving - most were older men looking to move up from their current Infiniti/Lexus/BMW. A few were arrogant SOBs, but not too many. But most had completely unrealistic expectations with regard to price and reliability. Everyone wants a brand new car for a used car price, and anything more than a few hundred $$ dealer markup is considered screwing the customer.

Selling cars sucks.
