@vgrinshpun And others. What would you say is the industry timing cycle average for bringing a entirely new car/platform luxury suv to market from let's say prototype to volume production? It seems to me that if you just look at the mx development time relative to industry average, it was actually pretty damn impressive, delays and all.
According to this normal time from design freeze to market is 24 months.

So if design freeze was this summer, normal time to market would be 2018 summer.
