Styling was finished nearly 2 years ago and prototypes have been built for months at AP. That is not the case at all.Who's to say they aren't testing this? They don't always test a new car completely, often times as I'm sure you've seen in the past they have new cars under old sheetmetal driving around for various reasons. One they don't want to give away new body styling or the body isn't quite ready yet.
Given that the S650 is really just a refresh of the 550, I imagine a vast majority of new stuff underneath can easily be popped into an S550 chassis to test around town inconspicuously. And with more and more leaks and photographers trying to catch a glimpse of new cars, I'm sure Ford is going as far as they can to conceal the new stuff coming out.
While I agree that it could very well be delayed (mainly due to pandemic and/or economic reasons related to it) I don't think the lack of test mule spotting really means this is years and years away.
Like many recent models, it will make its photography debut during the second round of winter testing, which will be this winter. It will launch right before the USDM Ranger.
