You bring up a good point which I am painfully aware of, which is that ordering this early may reduce my negotiating power. My plan is to put off the final price negotiations as long as possible. But I'm ready to pay up to MSRP, since the MSRP isn't too bad.
My dilemma is that if demand turns out to be low I'm better off just waiting until cars hit the lots and negotiating a good deal. However if demand is high and most cars are spoken for before they hit the lots then I could be subject to long waiting lists and/or price gouging if I wait.
I'm choosing to avoid the waiting list scenario at the risk of paying a little more than I would otherwise.
