2010 engine break in period?

Add to that the car was driven off the assembly line in Japan into a storage lot.

Then driven/loaded onto a carrier to transport it to a dock.

From there, driven/loaded onto a ship bound for America, etc.

Then driven off the ship to another storage lot, then driven onto a car carrier/train car and transported again.

Then, perhaps another car carrier before it reaches your dealer.

As someone who worked at an auto assembly plant in the past, I can tell you the cars are jockied quickly so......

However, these are only brief perieds and there is no reason to add insult to injury and continue the abuse when you get it as parts are still not broken in and damage can still be done.
Also all this loading/ unloading and test drives are not nearly as bad as someone getting a new car and imeadiately driving it from NY to Flordia (for example) and running it at a constant 3k RPM (for example) before any real break in has occured.
