[QUOTE="Bikerjulio, post: 179697, member: 5597"] [B]First round[/B] orders were submitted prior to finalisation of Canadian pricing back in early September. So pricing did not prevent order submission. (Canadian pricing was pretty well finalised some time ago anyway, all but the dealer-installed options portion). Dealers were given allocations and told how many they could order in the first round. My dealer ordered 10. These are all customer orders. Because of constraints and production line scheduling, the orders are then given a "tentative production week" - TPW. My car was one of the first from Canada to be given a TPW of early December (again prior to the strike). Then the strike put a hold on the second round of ordering which was to have happened in early October. So that is the current hold-up. If your dealer is open with you they will tell you their estimated allocation for the year, and where you stand in terms of your position on the list. The US dealers seem more willing to do this. The fact that your dealer says "no orders submitted yet" means to me that they had zero initial allocation of cars. If their statement is true that is. Either way it's not a great sign. Did you put a deposit down? When? Where are you on their list? [/QUOTE]
