has a fetish for terrible cars
silly question, maybe some Yurops can give me some insight here (cars aren't so meticulously specced in the US of Fuck yeah)
It used to be common that people would order cars here, it sort of sucks that over the last few years, domestic carmakers have caught on that we Americans are a impulsive sort and are willing to get a car right away that's not perfect (or spend a shitload on "options packages" to get the one thing you want...like a sunroof...as long as you can drive away today!) so they've reduced the amount of "buildable combinations" on offer. While it's certainly possible to custom order, in some cases it's not worth it unless you want something like a specific color the options are so packaged...
Toyota/Lexus won't let you do a custom order at all, as each region in the US gets to specify their own options and feature set. That's why no Corolla in the mid-atlantic region where I live can come with alloys besides the "sporty" S trim. The rental Corolla with a Florida licence plate had them and was an LE trim car. If you can convince your dealer to put your configuration in their request list then maybe...but you're still stuck with what the region offers IIRC....at least that's what I gathered from lurking on forums.
Dunno about Honda, Hyundai and Kia or Nissan.
I'll custom order my next car for sure, just so I can say I've gotten exactly what I wanted...it's a cool thing IMO.
