Told me I could order one but because of demand he was not letting anyone test drive their cars.
That's what they're all telling me too (both Subaru and Scion). The best they can offer is you can put down a refundable deposit (typically $500 or $1000) and get on their wait list. When a car comes in, they call the people on their wait list (I assume in order of signing up) and then you can test drive the car with first right of refusal.
