Yeah that could do it.. I'm guessing on something like the i8 though, such limited production and I thought they sold out.., probably someone's order that backed out. Seems to me that anyone else spending that kind of money on a car isn't likely to take someone else's config unless it either matches what they wanted or they just don't want to wait as long to get their own. I can't imagine dealers even have the option to order a car like that just for dealer inventory.
