I understand if I am more flexible I could have had one over 4 months ago. When I ordered my car my sales manager puts it in the list of cars that are desired to be specifically allocated to or dealership. This is how it works for anyone wanting a specific car. Corporate Toyota twice a month (around the 1st and 15th) looks at these lists and then locks in the allocation of cars to every dealership based on specific wants and sales volume among a few other things.

Our dealership since May has gotten a grand total of 3 FR-S even though we are a rather large dealership with what I have been told a large sales volume as well. When they go to allocate all the manual Ravens to dealerships they are supposed to look at dealerships with orders for them first. It just wouldn't make sense to send them to dealerships without special orders to eventually be sold instead of going to one that already has a customer lined up.
