Only on some makes and some models. Try doing this with a Japanese car or your average Volkswagen and you’d get nowhere.

They discovered if you put someone into a car that was close (wrong color, not quite the same options) they would happily drive it home and not return it. If you ordered the exact car someone wanted they will often call you the next day saying they changed their mind, cancel the order.
