I placed my order the day they went on sale here in April. A month later I showed up for an event where they had an autobox demo, and I waived my right of refusal then and there for the order. A few weeks later I had my car. I think the US orders might have started a week later, except for the First 86 program (or whatever it was called).
You are probably right regards to Japan. Not sure of exact details but I seem to recall after I got my car and joined this forum, reading they were still waiting for the cars over there. It appeared to me they sent at least one or two ship loads to the US and at least one shipment to Canada before dealers there got them.
Perhaps someone from Japan can chime in if the read this.
