Makes perfect sense. They want to build maximum hype and get people emotionally committed to buying it. Once a person is emotionally committed to buying something they are willing to spend more for it than they would if they were just presented with a bunch of facts. It's also why the focus has been on the concepts and race cars and not the actual production car and specs. Once they put a price on it it becomes a logical and not emotional decision, and car sales is all about getting someone to buy something based on emotion instead of logic. They want the price to be last thing you think about.
