I was joking. Everybody always posts that kind of stuff based on these camouflaged test mules and its just ridiculous.

Agreed.....but I partially blame the automakers for keeping those idiotic wraps on too long. While some secrecy on their part may be justified for a reasonable amount of time, IMO there's too much obsession for playing Hide-and-Go-Seek until the major auto shows. That forces journalists to have to try and play detective, going after spy-shots.

I don't blame them for hiding the new models...

In our buisness culture, some corporate secrecy may be justified in the early stages, but many automakers tend to keep the wraps on far longer than it is practical for them to do so. All that does is p*** off some potential buyers.....and journalists.

I don't blame them at all either. After all it is their new model and their responsibility to do what they think is best for a new model. Plus you can argue that it builds interest and excitement among potential new customers.

Again, it’s a business Mike.

Lots of money is spent on these new platforms and the companies need to keep things under wrap so that they can go tests and such.
I respect the process.

It would be in Genesis' best interest to allow a better view of the upcoming SUV. For other manufacturers they don't want to leak a new model as to stall sales of the current version. For Genesis, they have no previous model to steal sales from. They would only be stealing possible sales from other brands if they would just show what they are preparing to bring to market, the sooner the better.
