sure those are pre-production models? seems to be a lack of protective tape on the cars to be showroom/sales models. i would guess they're just moving some of the pre-prod's around to different shows, etc; keeping the miles low.

I heard from a dealer in my area that shipments will go to the East coast and Left coast first, with shipments going to the "middle" within a week of the first shipments to the edges.

It isn't a chop and if you look closely you can see the light blue tape along the front and rear edges.

That picture is almost certainly I-70 near Utah Colorado border plus or minus 100 miles.

Notice how there are no window stickers on any of them. I'd bet they are pre-production.

Do they usually put tape on preproduction cars when they drive them around?

Nope...

But they have been driving production ones around with the protection on.

Does anyone know if cars come from the factory with the window sticker all ready installed? Or is that something the dealers do once they get the car on the lot? Thanks..

factory tape is jagged on the ends...not straight across. it's either been photoshopped or that tape was put on there for travel purposes. according to BON, none of the production '05s have shipped. also, as stated earlier in the thread, there are no window stickers.

If I'm not mistaken, window stickers are printed at the dealerships, not the factory...
