I ordered a 2022 WRX back in
I ordered a 2022 WRX back in May, it won't arrive until September.
The sales numbers are more due to limitations. Just look at the stock at any Subaru Dealership. One of the largest in the country in Colorado had a total of 8 vehicles available when I looked last, all Ascents and BRZ's. They were carrying at least 10 WRX's at a time back in 2019/2020 and earlier.
The issue is more lack of any stock and everyone being hand to mouth for Subaru's right now.
