Unknown model of TurboComo? Advertising screw-up?

[GuruUno]

I'm still digesting the various models of the Como bikes as advertised on the Specialized site. I'm very, very confused.
If you go to the https://www.specialized.com/us/en/turbo-como landing page, the bike shown is a model that does not represent the choices when you drill down the page to choose models and options.
Can someone tell me that it is yet another screw-up that Specialized has no clue about?
Come on, really? Who is running the show?
I'd fire the advertising person or web person.
Who minding the store?

The special thing about current Comos is their handlebars design. Not good for everyone, as it cannot be modified or replaced. Same bars on Como SL (carbon belt, IGH, rigid fork).

I know all the 2022 models share the same picture, I was just commenting on the fact that the 5 IGH product page had none.
the global 2022 Como page below also only has the 3, 4 and 5 but not the 5 IGH

All that tells me they are not quite ready with it yet.
It sure looks promising though!

But if you returned the Vado Step through, why are you looking at that one, it will have the exact same motor electronics and drivetrain.

Because I'm not sure of what is available. My wife took the SL for a ride with the Shimano "hub" and because THAT bike is available with the carbon belt, I was of the belief/hoping there might be a choice....
