Yep. It's been discussed a few times, but I'm happy to remind anyone here.
What you see on stage is NOT a finished product. Some have been painted a few times, have parts put in that are not finished, some stuff does not work like it should, the finish on the doors are sprayed on, etc. (ie: looks good, but really isn't cause it's not a finished product).
SO...
When you get in the floor model at the auto show and a knob falls off or the lights don't all come on,
YOU say
"no big deal...it's only a pre-production - slapped together - run around the country so as many people as possible can see it show car."
HOWEVER...
The person that does NOT know better gets in, something breaks or does not work (or the finish comes off the door) and they say, "Oh my...I can't believe this part broke in this new car. OH MY...I can't believe this light does not work! OH MY GOODNESS!!!...I can't believe the finish came off this door!!!...Well, I'll be! If this car is going to fall apart...and this is what they want everyone to see, I'll NEVER buy a Camaro! What POOR quality!"
Now...do you understand why they don't let people sit in them?
Scott has already told us that after the new year, PRODUCTION ready models WILL be at auto shows for us to see, touch, and sit in. There will be plenty of time for us to check them out and sit in them before buying.
