If you want to nitpick about it, some Subarus are made in the U.S., in Indiana, and you can factory orders those models. https://www.subaru-sia.com/about

This is distinct from placing a reservation on an already-specced vehicle in the pipeline, which you can still modify with packages (but for which the engine, paint, and internal trim colors are locked). I placed a reservation on a dealer-ordered vehicle which just happened to already be specced the way I would have factory-ordered it.

AFAIK that is a fairly recent change (though in the past there were some policy differences between SOA and SDC; I have never been an SDC customer).

Subaru of America has allowed factory orders for vehicles made at the Indiana plant for over a decade...
