This is likely "auto brokering". This is where used auto dealers, usually upscale, will buy a new vehicle and place it on an unaffiliated lot with a huge price increase. This will reap big rewards until production catches demand. They are usually referred to as mother f**kers, as they tend to cause dealers to artificially mark up prices. See Mazda Miata, as it was supposed to hit American shores at $7995 or so.
