Too bad those of us in the USA can't custom order one ;)

Sorry, Canadian dealers are on my list to investigate but... no time to look at it for next two weeks.
apparently you can custom order, it just doesn’t work like it does here with us and other car manufacturers.

the factory apparently allocates x number of trims to the dealer. The dealer can customize them according to a customers wants. But the dealer can’t just order whatever, whenever. At least that’s how my dealer explained it.

That's what's annoying is that different dealers seems to say different things. The most common thing I have been told from them is that Hyundai builds what they want, and when a dealer puts in an "order" for something, then when time comes for allocations to be done, to be assigned to each dealer, etc. if a dealer has an "order" for a specific build/trim/color, etc. then that vehicle gets allocated to that dealership. Of course if say only 5 are built that way and you are number 6, then you will end up waiting longer.

Hope that makes sense, but that is how 3 dealerships had explained it to me, how their ordering works. I "lucked out" in that the second closest dealership to me already showed on their list a 2023 Calligraphy, AWD (being in Florida, most allocations are not AWD), Gray, light interior, so I put a deposit down on it right away! Only thing I am not 100% positive on is their sheet just shows MA - In Production on it, no VIN. Verses others that show AA - At Sea (allocated). He did tell me that from what that sheet shows, its almost always under 90 days away to them.

No official definition, however people think they mean:

AA: At Sea
PA: Port Arrived
TN: Transport Ready
IR: IN Route
DS: Dealer Stock
I have a printout from my dealership and it shows
AA - At Sea and then I see a PA - Port
Both of them then have (Allocated) after them. This was a sheet from the dealership to show they marked mine as sold for "trade status" and to show what trim, model, etc. I have the deposit down on. Mine shows no WIN yet just an AON and shows MA - In Production.

This is probably what my dealer means. He just didn’t explain it exactly that way, because what you are saying is very similar just not exactly matching. It’s definitely more in the hands of the manufacturer. Where as ford and gm literally let you customize your vehicle and “have it your way” like Burger King.

Hey folks, here's what I know of from an inventory standpoint for 2023 Palisades:

Known 2023 Palisade Vehicles In Transit

No guarantees on accuracy or availability - but hopefully this helps you decide which dealers to contact.

Updated to include Calligraphy, Limited, SEL, XRT, and LE in AWD and FWD variations.
this was great info, thanks for sharing...I have a bad case of "want it now"...

First off, thanks to everyone for all the information on this forum! Is there a list of 2022 inventory by any chance? We ordered a 2022 AWD Caligraphy from our local dealer back in January. Still no information. No VIN, no updates, just crickets. Now they're getting 2023 Caligraphys and still no word on our vehicle we ordered 7 months ago. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again!
