One reason is the plant stopped making US Spec 1M late fall (Oct I think). Add in the ocean crossing for any produced and that means last US Spec 1M will hit our shores in December, maybe some west coast stragglers in Jan, but probably few and maybe only because of the Holidays
Another reason, is MY11 is done. Dealers are ordering MY12 cars, which as we know, doesn't exist for 1M. The only reason you see MY11 cars on lots in 2012 is they are cars that were ordered but didn't sell.
I am not a dealer, my humble $0.02 as a casual observer.
