Increased production will not speed up delivery very much

Sorry if this has been discussed before.

I called the Toyota Customer Experience line today and here is what I was told by the rep. The increase in production is only 7000 Prius's in the US this year. With about 1200 dealers nationwide this only ends up being about 1 extra Prius a month for each dealer. This was disappointing news to hear. He also confirmed that the production increase did start showing up in the April allotments, it just is not going to make much of an impact.

The sad thing is Toyota could alleviate much of the frustration just by filling the orders on a first come first serve basis. Not the current allocation by the previous year dealer sells numbers. But they are quite thick headed about that not being the way the allocate cars. I say "So What!" then change the way you allocate the cars.
