Article doesn't make much
Article doesn't make much sense. Many dealers are sold out of 2019 Outbacks, and 2020's started arriving the end of August. Hard to imagine a dealership in Outbackorado that won't receive 2020 model until October 11th. The 2020 Forester, however, won't arrive until October. That's when dealerships across the US will see the car. Unlike the new Outback, this car won't really change.
I think you have your facts confused, and/or you're creating facts to fit your story, which seems to be a collection of car buying cliches. Hey, I read it, so I guess it worked:)
