Honestly, this is a big hunk of BS. How much money can a pre-production interior cost if it isn't "Reflective" of a production interior. Private meetings aren't necessary, it's a PRESS show, have your representatives there talking to reporters, getting them excited. "Sure you can sit in the car, but please be careful as this is a preproduction vehicle, and by the way, the fit and finish therefore won't be as accurate as a production model but at least you can get a feel for where we are going with design and ergonomics" Somehting. There is no excuse honestly there isn't. ~200 PRESS and vs. 200,000 General Public is very different. Honetly I am appalled by the lack of open vehicles, and the general lack of excitement coming from GM, a big turn from last year, big one.
