The other wrinkle when talking specifically about the 86 is that Toyota doesn't build them. Yes, I am sure they tell Subaru "we want so many of this and that" but individual orders are not probable. Neither system would be set up for that.

Sold order requests do not go to the factory at all.
The factory, toyota manufacturing, is a separate entity. Each "production run", they send a build list to Toyota Canada of what they plan to produce. Toyota Canada matches the build list as "best" they can through the different allocation steps. For the GR, the process is the same, except its subaru manufacturing. |

Another source of confusion I see here on a regular basis is this seeming belief that car dealers are run by the manufacturer or the wholesaler mother company. As you know the dealer is an independent business that purchases it's stock from the national (or in the case of the USA regional) mother company which in turn buys it's stock from the manufacturer. Considering that "Toyota" consists of something like 70 different sub companies, has dealerships in 200 countries and sells over 8 million cars a year they really don't care what one customer at one dealership wants to order.

Oh, and presuming they only ever got the one blue one, I watched it arrive at the dealership. I saw your car before you did!

I noticed some accessories, such as the Auto-Dimming Rearview Mirror, are not available on the SE models in the configurator. Is this a temporary glitch or expected? Since this is a port installed accessory (I think), why would it not be available on the SE?
