I *think* that maybe it works like this:
Once a month they get to put in dealer "preference" requests for "standard build" cars but with specific colors/options requested.
Once a month the computer replies with the delivery dates for the best matches.
If you are lucky, and you request a car just before they get to put in the preference requests, then they _could_ get the car allocated within a week. 5-7 weeks is probably worst case - they just missed doing the preferencing for this month, and then the car you wan't isn't available in the first shipment to that dealer next month.
I could be wrong about this though...
