My understanding is that dealers are allocated cars when they arrive in port. They'll receive notice of the cars that are coming to them, and a week or so later those cars will arrive at the dealership. My salesperson calls me now and then to tell me that my car's NOT on the list yet, and she mentions the rare TCH that's coming but not yet sold. I could buy a differently equipped TCH sooner if I wanted, but I'm enjoying the wait for the TCH with my favorite options. BUT, I've been waiting six weeks, and if September rolls along with no mag gray TCH, (all but nav) I may go for a different one.
