I had a similar problem last year with a Skoda Superb - went from 8 to 10 weeks to "around 5 to 6 months" which was way past my lease hand back date. At the time they said it was unprecedented demand across the VAG range and certain options such as sunroof and DSG were "no date available." Still 5 to 6 months for a Yeti for a colleague considering one and used low mileage demos are on sale at top dollar so that's not a great alternative.
I guess the supplying dealers can sell as many as they can get so the incentive to supply one at reduced margin to a lease company may be part of the problem. Might be worth your while going round a few dealers and being flexible on your colour choice and options and see if you can source and finance it separately. Nice car, very nice car BTW!
