As much as I'm sensitive to remaining time, I'm more bothered by being humiliated and taken advantage of by an unethical dealer, and just won't do it. After all, these are cars. They're discretionary toys, not COVID-19 cures. Life doesn't depend on getting a new car, and if it comes down to it, I'd rather just keep driving my current BRZ than get screwed over by a dealer.

YMMV.
but, but, the dealers are there to help you through the process! without them, you'd never be able to figure out how to place an order for one of two trims, and one of six colors!

just think of the chaos if average consumers were allowed to pick something like tomato's off a shelf with no help from a tomato sales associate!

and who will ever sell you on trucoat?!?
