I take a break from this forum due to how awful the community is, and this is the first thing I see after visiting again.
This is honestly the worst community out of any car forum I've ever read. Bunch of vitriolic ********. Some of you people need to evaluate what makes you so miserable that you feel the need to hop on a forum and do literally nothing except aggressively fight over the dumbest stuff imaginable. Its just exhausting to read. Every. Single. Thread. Without fail turns into an argument with 10 people foaming at the mouth over some inconsequential BS. Mods need to just start banning people who do nothing but pick fights and disrupt the place.

It's a delicate time balance on when GM releases C8(s) for independent testing. That time balance exists for GM's desire to maximize the published buzz, OP-ED, and test results. In effect, GM is getting advertising they could never afford to buy, all free from the magazines.

Actually, BG Plant Director, Kai Spande said at the NCM event on August 29, that saleable cars produced in BG on the regular assembly line would be delivered to a number of reviewers for testing this month.
