interesting, so the last 5 digit of VIN is in fact sequentially counting in production order

That is what one of the dealers I have spoken to said.

yeah, I thought it only counted the production order of what the specific trim production is, but now it's confirmed that number is for SC of the entire model year, I guess they definitely know that they won't be making more than 1 million SC per year

Maybe I should shoot for a VIN (last five digits) over 10,000, to give them time to work out the kinks in the manufacturing process.

Good plan to avoid stuff like this: All Ford Bronco 'molded-in' color hardtops will be replaced, deliveries still delayed

I'm still waiting to see what the fender flares look like... hopefully they will show up in the next month or two. From a negotiations standpoint it would really help if inventory levels allowed me to pick my desired vehicle from more then one dealership. For me the November time frame would be ideal for a purchase.

That is a LOT of cars!

Amazed that Hyundai didn't keep this vehicle. That's a heck of a milestone
