I know (think?) you're joking, but it's not really the same.

In the case of the car business (and any business with outside investors), all business decisions essentially boil down to one thing: growth.

If I sold 100 cars last quarter, all I really need is to sell 101 cars this quarter, even if I could sell 105... Instead, I'll save some of those sales, so I can sell at least 102 cars next quarter.

Again, sucks if you're waiting for your car, but really it's just business as usual.
