My dealer says she is calling her rep to discuss this practice.
We all knew they were going to build v6's first. That has been said for a long time now. We all also know that there were issues with the 6 speeds and the hemi's. We've all heard there were delays. Obviously they are going to build the cars the CAN build... thus you have lots of V6's coming out.
By the way, putting out a bunch of V6 models now is smart considering the press got on them a bunch about it being a "gas guzzler". There was high demand so they filled it.
We are all waiting... the car that may be for me got dumped down to C from D last week. Deal with it. It isn't the end of the world, you will get your car.
There is nothing wrong with dealers listing a car as a sold vehicle... that is how it works. If you want a car for stock quick, you list it sold. Normal practice.
There were delays for the 6 speeds, did you think they were not going to build any cars until they got the 6 speed problem figured out just because your 6 speed was supposedly ordered first? Maybe the dealer near you put in those 16 V6 cars before your order? Lots of variables. Sit back and relax, it'll be worth it in the end. Annoying a rep isn't going to get your car built any sooner.
