2009 Sports Package time line?

Does anyone know when you can put in a build order to get the sports package?

What I meant is when can I place my order for the car so it will be built in December? Or what is the average time between the time you place your order and the build starts.

Ah, my bad.

Regarding average time between order and build...that really depends on the dealer you're using. I've read about people having less than a four week span between these things, while others--like myself--have to wait four months or more. Have you talked to your local dealer about this? I'd think they'd be able to better guesstimate the likelihood of timing and December builds...

Dealers will receive their December build allocations in the latter part of October.

Build allocations are limited. You should check with your dealer to see if they have waiting lists.
