The customer is in the right. Bugatti owe him either an 09 car or a refund. Since he's getting niether, he has a right to sue.

I ordered an '09 car (BMW 335i) back in December 2008. I got an 09 three months later. If the dealer had turned to me and told me I could only have an 08 at the same price and no, you can't have your money back, I would sue too.

Bugatti or Kia, it doesn't matter.

When you're paying that kind of money for a car you have every right to get what you paid for or ordered. While ridiculous sounding if I was shelling out that kind of coin for a car you better be sure I'd be getting EXACTLY what I wanted.

You have to have brass balls to drive a $1.5M foreign car in Michigan right now. What is the unemployment rate in Michigan - something like 15%+. Lucky he didn't get the car.

And this is why... he will now start riding BMWs, MB, and Lexus.

Forget about that shitty nuclear reactor on 4 wheels. That is what the Bugatti is. It is just good for drag... nothing else.

If the world wasn't round and a completely square, maybe that car would have made sense. That car sucks in cornering.

Who pays in full before delivery? I thought deals like this typically use a third party escrow service to protect the buyer's cash while guaranteeing that the seller will be paid. He might want to consult a business advisor before his next $1M purchase.

Isn't the Veyron produced in limited numbers, which probably might mean that the 2009 batch has already been made and sold. the Grand Sport is the last of the current Veyron batch. So that means that they may have had a 2008 car lying around, or got one from another person...
I think they may should have told him he gets first dibs on the upcoming 4 door or the new coupe.

@pcar4evr: The guy doesn't have to worry about that. He lives in Canada.
