6 months? Get real. They have to work with many different suppliers (seats, windows, lights, wheels, you name it) and make sure everything will fit together right when it comes time for production. They were testing mules in Germany and Arizona. The budget for this refresh was around $240 million. New body, upgraded interior, added safety equipment, putting a manual trans with the VR30DTT (I understand the intercooler setup will be different than the Q50/Q60), upgrading the chassis. That takes longer than 6 months.
