Not necessarily. Some concept cars have come as full driveable models that will decidedly see production:
This is the Ford Edge - it was shown in LA as a concept, but will be in production this year...

At least Ford isn't chain-yanking the consumer like Chevy: Chevy asked people to log on to their website to give a thumbs up or down to the Camaro so the company could know whether or not to produce the car. That doesn't tell me the manufacturer is at all committed to the car. So why show it? Better to show a finished product and start taking pre-sale orders. There were a lot of people at the Camaro display who desired the car. That is until they saw a car of equal performance that was "finished."
