There wasn’t a single one in that color available anywhere in the entire Southeastern US, and they would not take an order to build one for me.
Toyota doesn’t actually do orders for the US market. They do allocations, and the factory just builds what corporate dictates based on market trends. You can fill out an “order form”, but the chance you actually get the vehicle you want is extremely slim.

Right: so they don’t make colorful vehicles, refuse to take orders for them, and then pretend colorful vehicles don’t sell.
Because ultimately (and unfortunately), manual transmissions are a dying breed, and most people buy the automatic versions.
This isn’t just specific to Toyota. The vast majority of new cars sold these days are automatics.
