Isn't that part of the balance of the game ?
If you get back-orders, you'd always be producing less than you're selling, because there's no risc to it. Any excess sales, will come in later on.
If something like this was to be implemented, I'd think it should be with huge fixed % discounts so you could end up loosing money on a sale. (% should increase for each month it's delayed/underproduced).
I understand what you mean though, and back-orders are part of the sales strategy today, but you'd have to build in some kind of desirability (is that a word?) factor into the car. Otherwise the customer will just go buy something else.
