Hopefully I won't have to wait 3 weeks now that the strike's over! I'm pining for the car every day, lol!

It seems like there's no discernible pattern between order date, receving the VIN, and delivery dates.. :S ... this is contradictory to what all the dealers are saying.. if there indeed is a single queue this should not be the case.

^^ this.

There is no real system, it all comes down to the specific dealer.

One thing I was told a few times is that cars are allocated to the dealer based on sold units. Get 2, sell the 2, then get a few more. If they get 2 and only sell 1, they may only get 1 on the next batch. I don't think that it affects once you get your VIN, at that point it is already allocated to the dealer, but they may just ship someone else's car before yours if that dealer is not moving units.

Definitely not a single queue system.

I emailed the guy over there, Ramil, and he sent me a screenshot of their inventory control system showing my car in transit by rail with an ETA of July 6th. Not sure if you have got this but perhaps worth inquiring...though, prob safe to assume it's part of the same batch.

I saw the same screen a week before delivery which showed my car and another guy's FR-S were both "on rail to Toronto" . Mine was the only one that showed up all week, not sure if his car even showed up.
