New Laguna

Just about time (if not overdue) to change my good 6 year old Laguna Tourer, but is it me or are Renault dealerships no longer stocking these 'larger' cars? Fair enough I can order but I seem to recall going on to dealership premises in the past and being able to choose a new car there and then, or maybe from their stock held nearby.
Is this a sign of the times or better turnover with Clios and Meganes?
I may end up with Drive the Deal - are you still happy with them?

Dealers don't want to stock cars they have difficulty selling. Doesn't take more than a few weeks to absorb any profit they might have made. And that's despite the fact the current Laguna is quite a good car with a lot of thoughtful touches.
