is this true? no special order?
I was in the same boat as you. I put down a deposit in May at my local dealership and never received any info from them on an estimated date of delivery over the next two months. By the end of July, I decided to reach out to my Scion regional sales manager (located in Kansas City, MO/KS), and after our conversation he had a raven mt put in the build que to be delivered to my local dealership. It seems from my conversations with him that a lot of the dealers are not properly educated in the allocation process and thus a lot of people with deposits down are left in the dark. I would recommended reaching out to your regional sales manager to discuss your issue. It could prove beneficial as it was for me.

My car was put on a boat the last week of August, so I should receive mine by the end of September (fingers crossed).
