If you're going to do an allocation system like this you really need to be able to tell the customer their exact spot in the queue as they put their money down. Even with dealer based allocations you should still be able to do a hell of a lot better than Toyota have.
I'm the fifth order at the dealership including pre-orders. I don't quite see how that can be fair to them exactly (so far they're up to 3 of 5 cars, according to a quick phonecall).

Long story short, FIFO would be fairer for everybody, including dealers and salespeople, because it means a lot less people would cancel.
