Why is the GXP on display locked up and "no-can-see", and the SKY Red Line open for display?
I drove the SKY Red Line down here to Kansas City from Michigan. It is a Captured Test Fleet car, and was told I was allowed to let people look at the car, crawl around it, and ask questions about it, but I was not allowed to give rides or let anyone drive it. The GXP is a show car, built earlier than this SKY Red Line, and portions under hood are not representative of the latest appearance, so Pontiac decided not to allow display of something that is not representative of how production will look. Doing so may actually create more questions than they answer.

On a related note, the under hood of the SKY Red Line was very close to correct, but I noticed that the engine cover is actually an older one. The actual cover has silver accents on the lettering and the appearance of the material is better.
