If the dealer has an allocation and does not use it, that allocation WILL be awarded to another dealer. It is not a matter of wasting an order that may not be built for some time in favor of using it to get something to sell sooner. An allocation can not be deferred.
Now once an allocation is used then accepted for production, that does not mean it will be built "sooner." Production is scheduled at the plant and I am only aware of general considerations as to what order is built first etc.
But my point: allocation is truly a use it or lose it proposition. And that loss is not just for the current model year; it resonates down through future model years for as long as that vehicle line continues.
