Because magazines always get to test cars before the public can buy them. Same as any other reviewer. Be it movies or video games or music or books, media gets access before the public so that reviews can be out by the time the general public starts buying them.
More important question is ... why is the 2020 COTY awarded in 2019? Until this year, I don't remember a single complaint about pre-production cars getting reviewed. I have no idea why it seems to be an issue with people now.

A clean sheet bespoke design. Of course it’s going to be expensive. The alpha platform has its r&d costs spread out over 3 cars and the cars still aren’t affordable.

twin turbo's and seeing as how short the exhaust is from the engine to the exit....its common with a mid-engine car.

I believe the Flat Plane Crank has something to do with it. That Crank is high vibration which is most likely the cause of the #4 cars' issues
