Don't mistake customers being forced to take what manufacturers offer for popularity.

Anecdote time: I was prepared to buy a brand new Tacoma shortly before the pandemic, but didn't because Toyota couldn't find one for me with the options and color I wanted (a blue TRD Off-Road with a manual transmission) anywhere in the entire multi-state region. I ended up buying a used car instead. Most people are not as stubborn as me, and would have settled for whatever shitty color was actually available.
