I'm sure that pricing will be revealed soon enough....but are we ever going to have anything more to go on than pictures, demo cars and the opinions of auto journalists that had limited (track only) time with a pre-production car in a very controlled setting?
All of these demos that are floating around car shows and dealerships are being driven by somebody (one had 1400 miles) and yet these privileged few remain silent. The demos are only serving as teasers to all of us. Sure...you can look at it...photograph it...sit in it...listen to the dealer rep start it up...climb into the trunk...but in NO WAY are you allowed to drive it! Why? If these demos are pre-production units, they're probably headed for the crusher anyway. Why can't we take it for spin around the block? Mileage shouldn't matter. What is the big secret?
The first shipment may be only seven short weeks away and I'm getting nervous. No pricing...no firsthand test-drives (on regular North American roads)...just not enough. I don't want to find out what all the secrecy was about, moments before I have to write the big check and sign the papers!
Eek!
I know this is the big downside of being an early adopter...but it's one thing to do it with a high-end electronic piece, and another with almost $30k! I still don't get the shroud of secrecy...if it's really that good...let us decide with enough time to back out if we so choose.
