To what extent can franchised dealers control their production allocation from the OEMs?

If I’m a franchised dealer, might I feel the squeeze from my OEM to purchase certain models even if we know they won’t sell well? Might I agree to take on some of their slower selling cars in the hope that I’ll get a more favourable allocation next time?
