Those stating "wtf do you care, it's not your money" and "the dealer can do what they want", are missing the point. It's an issue of ethics. Yes, ethics extend to business practices. I would understand a small premium due to demand, but this is outright gouging and due to the order issues Aus is having, I also find it a bit offensive they wouldn't offer it to any of their customers who have pending orders. Granted, we, the enthusiasts are WAY more amped about the 86 than the dealers are, so we're also more prone to blowing this issue out of proportion.
Hell, my dealer here in the states did exactly that, he called me and said "Hey we received a BRZ for stock, its not the one you ordered (different trim and options) but if you want it, I'll meet you at the shop to do the paperwork". I was 5 minutes from leaving work when he called back and said it just sold to another buyer. At least he made an effort.
