When are they supposed to actually show what this car looks like?

Seems like it should have been unveiled already?

It is so heavy that they are likely having trouble transporting it to the unveiling.

F90 first look reviews dropping mid April in 2018. I would expect the same here on the G90.

From what I heard the powertrain is still not fully sorted out.

In Brazil, they started the pre-orders for selected customers in March, many began to question, and from what I heard they have delayed the launch and arrival of first units here to November (used to be July). Expect delays elsewhere as well.

The future information thread still puts the sedan at production in July with the touring starting in November. 🤷🏻‍♂️

However, if the sedan production were to start in July that means we should be seeing those allocations hitting the dealerships likely this month, so perhaps there is a delay given that we haven’t even gotten an official reveal…

Usually 30-60 days after production the cars are here (after they have gotten government approval).

So if they are bumping it to Nov, expect some delay.
