The reason's pretty simple: there have been no sightings of any mules or cladded prototypes running anywhere in the world other than that one racing prototype sited on the Ring a few months ago. The fact that about 9 months before production would have to start for a summer 2015 release no production testers have been spied at all is very discouraging.

This line of thought was triggered by seeing this today: a prototype of the refreshed 2017 Fusion that has already been spotted.

I'm no expert on testing protocols but my sense from following the major blogs is that pretty much any major re-do gets caught by the spy photogs many months before the car is even announced. Really hope I'm wrong on this!
Why do you care? You've been a member since 2010 with the user name and avatar of the car. I'm thinking you would never buy the car anyways.
