It's very likely because the dealer brings in really only spec's up versions to make the most profit on. Few if any people in that demographic will wait 10 weeks for a factory order for a base Canary. In addition to the.pressure the dealer pushes on the same slightly naieve people that the incentives on this one on the lot are a today thing and can't be guaranteed on a factory order base model, and then pushing that the very good looking trim works out to be only $x more.
Probably also incentivized by Toyota head office to sell the upscale trims. I've seen some base model new Camrys and they look odd and unfinished, example as they still have a dual cutout in the bumper for two exhaust ports but have a muffler only on one side, and other cost cuts that make the car look like a Frankenstein. No comparison to the property finished upper trims as far as dealer lot curb appeal, so people get sucked in even if they think it may be a bit out of their comfort zone.
