As long as it identifies the car as "pre-production" I can go along with the notion of access limited to what is made visible. The catch for the mfrs here is that if most everything but the exterior styling is kept out of sight it's going to be a strike (or maybe two) against them and I'll just pause and keep walking.
But once it goes into production even if that's before the dealers actually have whatever it is in stock, at that point it needs to be fully accessible for customer evaluation and comparison against/with the competition. The 2010 Philly auto show experience was a major influence in our purchase decision for my wife's new DD, where we were comparing mid-level 4-door cars with decent power and manual transmissions.
