I can't understand why anyone would want to buy a bike from a car dealership when there are perfectly good LBS's around with good advice and aftersales.
Some people like the image associated with certain brands of car. Off the top of my head, other car makers that have started selling bikes are Porsche, Mazda and either Range Rover or Land Rover. I don't think Peugeot really counts, being a bike maker that also sells cars :-)
The Range/Land Rover bike was a rebadged Moulton, so not actually a bad machine. ISTR the Porsche bike was a heap of all-style-and-no-substance boinginess. I can't remember anything about the Mazda bikes, even though I was temping in the marketing department of Mazda UK when they first came out.

One of the Hummer bikes was on ebay last month, quite something! Aparently designed for the Marines, it's a folder and can be stored in the Hummer.
I'd always assumed that possibly only benefit of owning a hummer would be that you could fit in a full size /non-folding/ bike.
Unlikely. A Hummer is /strictly/ a four seater - there is remarkably little usable room in there.
