We were lucky, our CX-5 AWD GT w/tech was ordered 7/25. About early Oct we were told it was due into port (Newark) on 10/31 and due at the dealer by 11/13. Well early november we were told the car "was still on the boat" - they had intentially left cars on the boat to protect them from the storm vs. sitting in port @ Newark. Don't know if the boat (RORO) actually stayed out to sea for the duration of the storm, or if had actually come in and tied up real well, or when it actually pulled into port. I suspect they stayed out to sea and anchored up vs. pulling into port. Long story short, the car arrived unharmed at the dealer on 11/21 and we picked it up on 11/23.
The sales manager had told us initially the wait would be 8-12 weeks, and the salesman said more like 12-16. The wait was no big deal for us, we waited 5 months for a VW Jetta TDI wagon back in 2002. And that time we actually got an identical car that was intended for someone else, but had cancelled their order. Our car was another 2-3 weeks out.
