Maybe the other car's demand is high since winter is coming and everyone buying a 4x4. Also maybe because the performance package is not only sold here, but also in other countries and Toyota also has the same package at least in Japan. Maybe there is a small queue formed on the production line.

Ya you probably nailed it and the scheduling for the other cars may very well take up the space at this time of year and they are not (or can't ) going to change that simply because there is a higher than planned for demand for the BRZ. This planning is what I have preached for years when people think they can just flick a switch and make more or less of a vehicle within a model year.
