Allocations to the dealerships are based on previous month/quarter sales volume of certain cars, not specifically just in single models. For example if Toyota Distribution or HQ wants Camry or Corolla moved in a certain volume, they need to hit each sales target to order more low-production cars like the Land Cruiser or FRS. So it all depends and all dealers are doing different volume. Naturally high volume and large dealers have more allocations by nature of statistics.

The ones that are selling the FRS, and other cars at HUGE premiums and not moving them are the ones that will NOT get a large number of them...so it works cyclically... And it depends on how the dealership's own managers and how they want to do business. Low volume- high markup, or high volume- low margin. And each location has merits for each method... Rural areas can't move huge number of cars due to smaller population, and therefore you tend to see more markup, and smaller volume to stay in business.
