Chances are they got all their customers to bring the cars in for a photo shoot. Thats what 35 cars total for maybe $17 million dollars in total value. Although impressive to look at, it represents a tiny fraction of a fraction of the over all economy. Just think about this, Obama spent roughly 30 times that amount on a single failed solar panel company that filled bankruptcy recently. The United States spends enough money every 30 seconds to buy one.

saw that this morning..

half the cars don't have rear bumpers so I doubt they got them all together for a photo shoot.

even see a few missing the back hatch

I bet that's a high probability. UGR turns them out.

Most of us here can on dream about getting one .. Very nice cars!! If I had that kind of money I wouldn't get my car painted with any of the colors in the photo I would want something different.
