Not sure what they meant by "the factory confirmed..." though. The Toyotas (FRS/86/GR86) were never able to be factory ordered since they are built by Subaru. A car will be built and your dealer may get it in allotment or dealer trade but that is about as far I it goes for "orders". There is no car scheduled at the factory that has your name attached to it though.
That's what I always understood about the process, so my dealer's update had me very confused. This made me think of another question though. If you place an order at a lower volume dealer, does this mean that even though you ordered a car, there's a chance that dealership won't get an allocation despite there being an active order for one?
