USF1 - To Be or Not To Be

I just read where the new Lotus F1 team is doing testing. USF1 apparently doesn't even have a new car assembled or anywhere near getting on the track yet. There isn't even much discussion of drivers for USF1.

At this point, as much as I want the USF1 team to succeed, I just don't see them on the grid in 2010. If they do make the grid, they won't be close to competitive. By now, they would have to be closer to having a car assembled and closer to testing. They have a lot of work to do before the start of the 2010 season, including testing a completely new car and they don't seem to be anywhere near ready.
