No, I understand, and I also understand why they DON'T want to "let" you order one given they get no revenue from it until it is delivered, if they can't find one for you, and there is no guarantee the buyer will purchase the special order (you can always walk away, losing your deposit).

With the FR-S in the first year a lot of folks were able to order them because they didn't exist on the floor yet. Heck, technically mine was ordered and I got it bone stock because there were NO options available at the time, being one of the First 86.

Visit my Owner's Journal where I wax philosophic on all things FR-S
