I tried to do it with Toyota and got absolutely nowhere. I talked to dealer after dealer, and they all told me that they couldn't customize a vehicle order. I also couldn't do it on Toyota.com - after I configured a vehicle, all it did was refer me to a dealer who told me that they can't customize anything.

That is odd because Japanese dealerships carry very little inventory and make to order.

You go to the dealer and test drive, sit down and go over packages and finance then a couple weeks later your car shows up and they either deliver it to your house or you go and pickup.
