I don't know anything for certain, just what I was told. I'm sure dealers who take deposits won't get in trouble or anything but taking names and money from people when there is no pre-order system or waiting list seems a tad irresponsible to me. However they are going to do what they want to try and secure a sale, and taking a deposit in their mind probably seems like they are sealing the deal even though it's refundable and all.
Just like we all knew about the BRZ pre-order opening on March 1st, I'm sure we will all hear about the FR-S pre-orders opening up and I'll be able to swing by and put my deposit down the day of, I'm not counting on a call the day of or for these people to wait on me.
