FWIW, no SH-AWD in the first batch of cars
Don't know if everyone knows this, but there won't be any AWD models in the first month of production. Word is that "we'll be notified" when we can start ordering them.

There are no SH-AWD models in the first or second batch of cars. Our next (2nd) order is on 15th and there are NO SH-AWD models on this order. The following month will be the first order of SH cars and these are scheduled for November production with December arrival.

I'm already planning a comparo of the TL SH-AWD and the RL. I think some looking at the TL SH-AWD could be cross-shopping a good, used RL. There a bunch of folks posting on the RL side with used 2005's and some 2006's and I expect the trend to accelerate.

I don't know about that. It would not be normal for them to split allocation by region. I can't seem to find the bulletin, but I looked at the allocation and although the SH cars are listed, none were allocated. This MOVE is for October production so I think that they are still waiting till November to start AWD cars.

Jason do you think that date applies to California too for the SH-AWD and the regular one too ?

Well, the Internet guy at my dealership said to expect the AWD model by late October, but he could very well be trying to get me to put down an early deposit on one. This time frame jives with what Colin said. I want to see and drive one first.
