Did you actually try to order what you wanted? I've been ordering my cars from the dealer almost exclusively for the past 25 years. Never had a problem. Sure, they'd rather sell a car off the lot, but I've never had one tell me they wouldn't order the car for me.
I did get rejected by Audi when I wanted to order a car in a special paint color. They advertised "any color you want, just $2500 extra". When I tried to take them up on it, the reply was, "We don't know you, your dealer isn't a top performer, and our custom paint shop is booked up over a year anyway. So kindly bugger off."

That was before haggling, as those were pass-through dealer incentives. Presumably, no one pays anywhere near MSRP for that model unless they custom order from the factory. I’m sure it varies from manufacturer to manufacturer, but still.
