Focus the potential customer on what is on offer here and now.

Why go for an uncertain sale in the future, work to make a sale today.

That's why dealers are frequently genuinely not interested in upcoming models.
i understand that, but based on that 2 minute conversation, I will never go to that dealership to get my next car. Once a dealership rubs me the wrong way, I write you off.

if his response was something like, "yea, it looks cool, but when it comes out it's probably going to be the same price as a leftover M3..." I would have respected him...
