I placed a $500 deposit back on April 4 for a Subaru BRZ, from my local, small-town dealer. I think there was only one person who had placed an order at the dealership prior to mine. I asked my dealer recently if my order corresoponded to any vehicle already allocated to them. Their response was that mine is a 'special order', and I'm left to wonder a) what that means and b) whether I will be getting a car any time soon.

Does anyone have any knowledge of how orders are matched with vehicles arriving from Japan?
