Manufacturers with sporty sub-brands usually do this kind of launch with these models as the people who drive those vehicles don't mind the odd issue, it gives them the opportunity to quiz the dealers and manufacturer.

More difficult to do when you do not have such a sub-brand of enthusiasts or petrolheads. Launching new tech to a customer group who view a trip to the dealership as a chore is always a bigger risk.
