Thanks to all who replied to my original query.

In regards to who is/is not at fault regarding what appears to be a continuing challenge delivering vehicles, all manufacturers are only as good/bad as their dealer networks. Even the Big 3 have this problem...

It is interesting to me though that the only manufacturer who has an absolutely spotless reputation, at least from my 8-months of research, is one that sells directly and has no dealer network...perhaps that is the only way they can insure standards...

Ah well, that is another discussion I think.
