More info on the same subject.
The last sentence says there is 90 days of backlog.
If nothing changes, this implies that orders placed today will take around 13 weeks to ship. I ordered end of May and my car was apparently built yesterday. Assume 3 weeks in transit, I will have waited at least 12 weeks.

Brampton Assembly Plant Workers Vote In Favour of Extending Production Hours
-- Posted on Sunday, August 1 2004
Brampton Assembly Plant workers voted to allow the production shift to be extended to 9 hours per day at a Special Meeting held earlier today. About 70% voted in favour of the proposal. 889 votes were cast. 262 voted against the proposal. The company is expected to take advantage of the opportunity afforded by the membership as of August 9th. The extended hours are for a 90 day period only. Shift schedules will become:
Monday to Friday
Days - 5:30 am to 3:00 pm (9 hours)
Afternoons - 3:30 p.m. to 1:00 am (9 hours)
Mandatory Saturdays
Days - 5:30 am to 2:00 pm (8 hours)
Afternoons 2:30 pm to 11:00 pm (8 hours)
The overwhelming demand for 300C's and Magnums is the reason for the extended hours.
There are already about 90 days of orders for the 2005 model year.
