The ordered GLA250 4Matic finally came and we did go see it yesterday. We optioned with just about every option available and I have to say it's really nice. The brown leather seats are beautiful and the matching dash with stitching is really nice, especially with the Satin Brown Poplar wood. Even the ambient lighting system is cool with at least 9 color options.
We've got a GLC300 coming in in a couple weeks and until it comes and we make a final decision, they're holding the GLA for us. It's really going to come down to price. Because Mercedes doesn't offer any lease ahead options on the GLA, but will on the GLC, we're getting out of the lease on our E350 Couple early and the price differential will make the GLC less expensive than the GLA.
I just wish this was over and done. The GLC is made and just sitting at the VPC in Georgia. Mercedes isn't releasing them now until November 21st. And that's not even at the dealer on that day.

2009 R350, 2016 GLA (soon!)
Getting one in a few weeks
Not sure if this qualifies as "on order" but the Boston dealer located one just off the boat in Baltimore that should be here by the end of the month. It has all the options I want (premium pkg, multimedia pkg, xenon, panarama roof, and few others.) They are offering me a substantial discount of MSRP, which I wasn't quite expecting but am not complaining. I was hoping for 7% or so off, but its closer to 11% off. Can't wait.

Since I started this thread, I thought I'd give the final outcome. While we really liked the GLA250 4Matic we ordered, the GLC300 won out. We picked it up Saturday and it's really terrific. Ours is in Designo Cardinal Red and it really looks sharp. If you want to see any pics, see the thread I started in the GLC forum called The Official 2016 GLC Picture Thread.
