Time from car mag to dealer

[indyCoder]

Does anyone know how long the time frame from the car magazines testing the cars to the dealers getting the cars was on the 300C? I’m trying to get an idea of when I see the first mag test to when I can expect to get a car.

What car(s) are you expecting (from the forum you are in I assume an SRT-8)?

I mean, if an already released vehicle with minor changes in a new year I wouldn't expect a mag test any time really early...if a totally new car with a claim to fame (performance, price, styling, etc.) I would think it would be a couple months early...but then again that depends on the manufacturers releasing a test vehicle to the mag.

Yes, the SRT-8.

Then I would go by my comments about the availability from the manufacturer to 'give' a car to test.
