Typically they will build as many as 200 cars(prolly not in this case) and turn them over to executives and other employees to drive for a couple of months before they start production on customer cars. The reason for this is to find out problems that were missed on the CTF cars and prototypes.
The cars that they are going to build for executives and others WILL be sold
later in the year as certified cars.
Ex. the all new 2003 MY Cadillac CTS went on sale January 2, 2002.
I personally saw "Executive" cars that were built in October 2001 for sale in 2002.
