Car Tutorial scenes and model issues

I have down loaded the Car Tutorial.
I moved it in to a new project.
i went in and open the scene.
Like the pdf file told me to.
All that appeared on the window was a point light and 2 cameras.
Every thing appeared on the list in the hierarchy.
I tried putting more of the models in but non of them appeared.
Senc then i’ve tried the other Tutorials and have had the same issue.
can any one help me?
Im almost to the point of saying forget this editor.

Have you given the interface overview page a look? Jumping right into the Car Tutorial first thing in Unity might be a little confusing without going through the basics first.
