One of those might be an abandoned customer, and the other might be one that's waiting to be prepped before pickup by another customer.

Also, did any of you ever think that your dealership might just not be the angelic group of sales associates that you thought they were? Come on! It's obvious that some of them might be using their order spots to "special order" these colors! Dealers are in the business of making you a deal. That means they have seen far and wide the devious tactics that buyers and other dealers use to get the upper hand of things. They want money. They'll do a lot more than you think to get it.

AND: The fact that they were pretty basic in terms of options just means they ordered non-controversial cars that will be picked out by the least selective of buyers. Ever heard of a sweet 16 present? A lot of parents will buy their ill-informed children high end cars with less options so they can spend less money and still see Mandy's teeth sparkle as bright as her metallic paint.
