Because if they don't then there will be no way to know who gets the first ones. The only other way to do it would be to form a line outside the dealership the day the order banks open, like they are selling Wii's or PS3's on launch day or something. That works fine for generation X and Y gamers, but not for people buying a $60k car.
(Although personally I'd be fine waiting in line, but I think most people would be pissed
