Ok, I just spoke to a very nice and helpful lady at Toyota WA Distributor (they handle all orders from the WA Toyota Dealer network). While my dealer (Big Rock Toyota) has been helpful in providing information on my order, they can only see data for their dealership.

I have a orange GTS manual on order. Ordered June 18th at my dealer and Toyota WA have the order as secured on June 19th (good work by my dealer).

There are 57 outstanding orders for GTS's (both manual and auto) in WA either before or on the same secure date as mine (19th June). Unlucky for me, I'm also number 10 on the list at Big Rock Toyota for GTS's.

They will allocate GTS's by the secure date, but a full months allocation would not go to a single dealer.

Currently they are only able to secure and allocate 4 GTS's per month, so based on 57 orders in front of me, that is a 14 month wait from today (17 month wait in total)

If you switched your order to a GT in WA today you would also be waiting 12+ months based on current orders to fill. Of course they are trying to get more allocation of GTS's for WA, but nothing to speak about yet.

While the news is extremely disappointing for me as I had originally excepted to get the car this year, at least I now have the full picture and can decide what to do.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news
Just spoke to same lady and yes she was very helpful but still the bearer of bad news. There are 147 GTS on order as of today. If you were to order one today the wait would be 4 1/2 years!!!!! I know some dealers are refusing to sell the GTS now as there isn't much point. As for me, I'm out till June next year. Patience is a virtue I need to discover.
