cool, atleast they've told you something. The only time I've heard from my dealer is when I contacted them to ask a question or two.

I ordered mine on 12/21 and took delivery on 3/22, so I would definitely harrass your dealer a little bit

BTW, I found out about my car because I went there personally. It turns out that my "car" didn't show up on the allocation because the car wasn't sent exactly as I ordered it. It wasn't until I asked the dealer to let me see the allocation that I spotted my car and pointed it out to them (I was able to identify it right-off the bat because mine has been the first and only car in the SW ordered with the specs I requested). The dealer then had to install certain parts at the dealer for free!!! , which of course, I didn't mind...

I dont understand why you guys need to order and wait? no cars on the lot??? I mean as far as color goes, they are all really the same if you think about it. equally nice.

Default Special Orders done on the 15th...

People also have to realize that Special Orders are sent to the factories on the 15th of each month.

That means that if you place a Special Order on the 16th, you have to wait an extra month before the order is even looked at by the factory.
