Car manufacturers can afford to do just about whatever they want for a press picture. Fly a crew to Morocco to shoot the car in the desert? Sure. In front of the Bilbao Guggenheim? Sure.
They don’t always follow through, though. Sometimes they just take a picture with some people standing nearby at a table, looking into the distance.
Someday you too might be so lucky to sit at a table! If you are so wise to buy this car, the picture seems to say.
