There may be some truth regarding hard to get..
I ordered a 17 TTS locally back in April for an Oct delivery. After I ordered I stopped back in and they said that I should be glad I ordered when I did. They advised me that mine was the last one that they could get this year. No more allocations for TTS available for them til next year.
Maybe he meant if you ordered it now, you wouldn't get into the delivery window for 2016, but rather you'd have gotten it in February 2017 or something like that. If delivery time is 4-6 months, it would be highly unlikely the next Turbo they'd get would next June. That would be way too long and people would just go elsewhere.
Has the dealer confirmed in writing that your car will be MY 2017?
If not, I'd be concerned in the scenario you describe that an October delivery in the USA might be MY16 car built before factory closure in August, and that they don't have allocated slots yet for MY2017. 
Are all cars built before the factory closing in August MY2016? My car was built in June and it is designated a 2017.
In the case of this year's crop of 911s they are obviously not, from what Tony007 and you yourself have written here.
Car manufacturers "generally" time model year changes to be introduced during factory stoppages for annual vacations, so in an European context "next year's" model will start coming off the line after the summer break.
However, manufacturers have some leeway to move the MY changeover around to match the introduction dates of brand new models or of face-lifts which are not synched with the factory closure.
For instance, if production of a facelifted model starts in March 2016, then it can be designated as being MY 2017, as there will be no additional significant changes to that car before calendar year 2017 is well underway. This will presumably be what has happened to the 911 variants this year.
