Is the MY 2013 order book open?

I cancelled my MY 2012 order and went with MY 2013 in order to get aromatic/etc. I've got my build sheet from the dealer but he tells me that the order book isn't open yet so he can't provide a order number or a possible build date. Can anyone verify this?

My SA said a couple weeks ago that they can put in an order for a June/July build, but not yet an August build. If you want the multi-contour seats, they aren't available until the August build. I've also been told by another SA that the lighting package would delay it to August as well. However, in any case, the pricing hasn't yet been issued. I'm told that will likely not happen until the first couple weeks in June.

Meanwhile, I'm trying to negotiate a discount off of MRSP with the dealer, so I don't have to wait until my ML arrives to figure out my deal.

I wonder what others are hearing, as it seems like every SA and dealership have a different story about dates and availability.

My SA gave me a guesstimate 2nd decade of July for build. I have ordered it with the lighting package. I've sent him an email asking for a build date, but no response yet. I'll post here when I get more info.
