yes they seem to have done the usual and taken order even tho they knew it would be a long time. true they may not have thought it would be as long, but many manufacturers seem to have decided to supply retail first, before lease. this may be due to contracts with dealers tho. dealers of course will quickly blame the makers.
if its being made now then at least it shouldnt be too long, so after getting cash off them its unlikely that cancelling would currently be a good idea.
just got to stick it out alas. i spent 18 months locked in house yet was paying for my car so know how frustrating it is.
