I've got $7000 worth of upgrade parts for this car sitting at the dealership waiting to be installed, when the car finnally arrives from Japan.

Pretty much all of the advertised colors are not available on the RS models. My first three color choices were not available, so I went with red. I don't think any of the premium paint colors are available in Canada.

I've looked all over for a 2010 Rs, I found a couple used 09's, but no 10's. So did Toyota short supply these cars to Canada/USA? There is quite a lot of advertising for this model, but whats the point if you have to wait 6+ months to get the car? May as well call the car limited or special order?

I haven't seen any 2010's RS on any lots or even in display rooms. I hope I haven't committed to buying a car that doesn't even exist.

Does Toyota do this with all of their models/makes? Does my situation sound normal for Toyota?

You said you already "bought" it...Does not mean you already paid for the car or does that mean you paid $500 deposit to send your order to the distributor?
