Max777 is on a distinguished road
What makes it pre-production is that the US spec FC is different, and this car is HERE, and not in Europe? Perhaps something that would make more sense to you, since you're obviously mad about this for some reason, is to label it "US-Spec" pre-production?

EDIT: Pre=production can also mean that the car was out on public roads before the general population got a hold of the FC in dealerships and such? When do you ever see an average joe showing off that they got the "00001" vin ______(fill in the blank) new car? Almost never, because the fact is, they don't. A lot of early cars go to crash testing, press fleets, become mules, museum cars, etc... and most "pre-production" cars HAVE to be crushed, wrecked, or destroyed/taken off the roads somehow at some point in time. How this car survived is a miracle.

PS: Can anyone find out how you're supposed to drive a "pre-production" deemed car on the public roads if the VIN tag is all different than the production models? I cant back this up, but it would make sense that OEM's would run such cars as the very first in the VIN tag numbers.
