Is my car a lemon?

It was a leftover, 2010 on the showroom floor. They said they disconnect the Batteries on car in the show room, which makes sense... They do that at car shows also, so people can't mess with the cars I guess.

I had a look at NY lemon law, and spoke about it with my lawyer a bit tonight actually. He told me the dealer hasn't screwed me enough for it to be a lemon yet, and I have to allow them the opportunity to fix it get fixed. This is in such a short period of time, and if they fix everything (and nothing continues) I don't have a Lemon.

The car had less then 50 miles on it... I do feel it's very fishy. It was a chip on the bumper (not a scratch), and a smudge of black, which may or not be a scratch i could not tell near the wheel well. There was a small ding on the passenger door. Maybe it happened while it was being prepped? Rest of the car looked really nice.. I did spend a lot of time looking at it in the show room, but didn't notice any of this at the time. I noticed it after the test drive.
