So has anyone heard anything about what we in the US can expect tomorrow? Might we possibly expect some additional cars to arrive at our dealerships?

I've seen the demo a few times now and am looking forward to comparing the Sport/Luxury interiors in person.

Not sure about the specifics of each car yet. I'll probably go take a look this evening and will post back.

Sorry, no steel gray cars were in the lot. All they had was Palladium Silver, Black, White and Red. He did say that the Steel Gray was a few shades darker than the Palladium Silver if that helps.

I tried...had the camera all ready to go.

You could build it on the MBUSA website and see it there, but that just isn't the same I know....

All I could advise is to phone every dealer in your area and see if they have one on the lot.

My dealer guestimated that they wouldn't sell too many of them since it is between the popular Palladium Silver and Black. But who knows. I liked the white one personally.

c300
Edmunds.com tested a steel gray car and has plenty of pics in different lighting. Not the same as in person, but it matched up pretty close to the 3x5 metal paint sample that my dealer showed me.
