I'm surprised they didn't go to Africa. I hear that's a major area for hot testing since there usually are less photographers and it's closer than the US.

you forget, PNA is a huge place as well


And they don't want only heat testing, they actually do testing all over the world. The US just offers a wide range of different environments. I mean you are up in the freezing mountains one day, then 130 degrees in DV the next day, then cruising the winding mountains of the california coast the next


I do believe they do testing in the sahara as well though, atleast i've read that somewhere. May of only been w/ the cayenne though

True. I had read an article that they like somewhere in Scandinavia for freezing testing also. What's PNA?
