I assume these will be the same two that head to my date in Springfield. A little disappointed to see that it's two of the same model and almost the same color.
For another perspective: The roads they're worried about are maintained solely by the residents that need them. No road crews or tax dollars. Just neighbors with a grader (maybe) and a load of gravel bought out of pocket.

I'm not a huge fan of dealerships raising their overhead with a big flashy Harley-style (*shudder*) store.
Though I'm also not a fan of the current dealership model of storing hundreds of vehicles on-site. Give me a small store-front with a representative amount of sample vehicles and a loading...
I don't see the point in basing big decisions on the uniform colors for a group of people that don't even know you exist. But then, I'm a Packers fan, and their colors look terrible on everything, anyway.
A week ago, I'd be all about this type of list. Then there was the thread about the unconsented order where the customer was clearly the problem, not the dealership. There are so many ways that salesmen have earned the stealership moniker to deserve shame. Yet, there are also lazy, entitled...
Counterpoint: The Base Sasquatch, especially with Manual, is a value and platform combination we probably won't see again. If there's even a chance you might want to use lockers down the line, the Base Squatch makes perfect sense. You'd be hard pressed to get that capability for near that cost...
I'd rather just have seats that actually fold flat with resilient finish on the back (read: not carpet). Then I can use it as a truck when I want to, like my dear departed K5.
*edit: And a tailgate instead of swing-out.
Unfortunately, we don't live in that ideal timeline.
Long term planning. The initial orders will be heavier on 2-doors thanks to enthusiasts. After that, the 4-door will far outpace it in demand. I'm guessing they just did not invest in the tooling to make as many 2-doors.
The truth is somewhere in between. They know their current estimations, but have no idea how those numbers will end up in two months when order banks close. As usual, Granger is the standard:
"We don't know your exact "number" in our reservation line. We're going to do our best to tell you...
I mean, if the question is "do dealers lie?" about any subject the answer is yes. But if you got in on an FE, you're likely good for '21,even with late availability.
