Where are the Japanese/Korean Car Dealers?

by Eric C. Cohen on Sun 10 Jun 2007 10:40 PM EDT | Permanent Link | Cosmos

This is an actual and honest question. If anyone knows the answer, please let the rest of us know by posting a comment.

The question is: Why are there no Toyota, Honda, Subaru, Nissan, Mazda, Mitsubishi or Hyundai dealers anywhere in Sag Hampton? Don't tell me they're in Riverhead, that's 50 minutes away when there's no traffic. We have Ford, Chevy, and Chrysler, and OF COURSE we have Mercedes, BMW, Lexus, Mini-Cooper, Range Rover, Saab (but, curiously, not Volvo), Audi, Porsche, and Jaguar, but if you want to buy the best selling car in America, a Toyota Camry, you have to drive 28 miles through Hamptons traffic to get to the closest dealer. What's with that?

P.S. - We bought a Toyota Prius today -- in Oakdale, not Riverhead. Oil changes are going to be a bear.

Ours is blue.

I have no idea of the answer, of course. But it sounds like a business opportunity to me!

But hey, you bought a Prius, which is green no matter what color it is. That's great. Enjoy! At least those 56 mile jaunts (round trip) won't use 4 to 5 gallons of gas like some other cars I could mention!
