You've got to call the dealer.

Would be nice though if MB could give each buyer an access code in NetStar limited to just checking the progress of their car. Would definately make the dealers happy I'm sure.

Congratulations.... unforunately, you're not the first with the Mars Red. But it's certainly a nice colour. And I wish they still made the 3.5L with the six-speed manual. Yet another way to keep the car all to myself.

Great specifications for a fun car. I think the shipping time is a bit optimistic. Good luck.

Did you listen to the car with and without the multimedia package? Unless you never plan on listening to anything, you may want to consider it...

It is rediculous how sensitive people are, but KKK is a turbo.

KKK is a white supremacy group... it's lame how clueless some people are.

Only for those of you who CHOOSE to interpret it that way. We are on an auto forum. I am aware of the other meanings of KKK, but considering the context, it is suprising how people will ignore the obvious for the pleasure of drama.

It just goes to show the prevalence of the Klan... that everyone know about it. I think that's good news.

At the same time, I appreciate the people are being more political sensitive nowadays. That's not necessarily a bad thing -- but recognition that we live in a multicultural world.

Disclaimer: I do not support the Klan in any way.

I do not see how my knowledge of the Klan shows it prevelance, I was born in the US. More importantly, it would be bad news for people to be aware of them, the more awareness they have, the more power they have. If they were not known and feared, they would be powerless, and eventually fade away (who will join/support a group they do not know about).

Why should people be more sensitive, when it only makes things more difficult? If you do not like something, then stop looking at it, listening to it, etc. Or do you think that you should not be allowed to drive your car in front of soeone's house because they find it offensive, after all, Hitler only drove MB. Nobody should attempt to block expression because they do not like it, ***** did that. North Korea, China, and several other dictatorships follow suit.

Like I said, why in an automotive forum would something clearly automotive in nature be given false attribution.

I unfortunately did not listen to the stereo without the multimedia package and i dont imagine it will sound that bad. I am sure that it will be better than my current 02 honda civic.

Just got some bad news!!

My sales guy didnt know that my car was going to be built in South Africa. As a result he miss calculated the delivery date when I order the car labor day weekend (3 months ago today). So now I am not expected to get my car till end of January. I am really pissed off . He is going to try and find the exact car I want elsewere in the states. If he cant, I am asking for a heft discount on the car for his error.
