I hear you... this is complete BS, and tacking on an extra week each time it doesn't hit their guesstimate isn't helping. I can't believe these guys can't tell you exactly where it is and why it is being held.
(I say "where it is" because I think yours is in the same limbo as the one in front of mine that is in D5 "RELEASED TO CARRIER," meaning that it is beyond the VPC at this point).

I am not too concerned anymore. I need a car by 11/15 and already have financing in place that keeps on getting delayed too. I took some measurements and the Porsche Macan S or Turbo fits in my narrow garage so I am good to go although maintenance is probably significantly higher than M-B. We'll see what happens over the next 3 weeks. I have no issues with 340 HP or 400 HP CUV.

I have some roots from the Burgh. M&P were from Oakland and Duquesne, respectively and we originally lived in Castle Shannon before relocating to the Philly suburbs. My father was a die-hard Steelers fan until he passed. He is still probably rooting for them in heaven.
I don't think you are going to be running the C450 in the winter but I came across a good option for performance snow tires for the Northerners ... Pirelli Sottozero 210 Series II Run Flats. No one has the front tires in stock for the 19" rims but as we head toward October one would expect Tirerack or 1010tire to carry the stock.

Yeah, if you grew up in the Burgh anywhere near the 70s, it would have been pretty hard to not be a Steelers fan.

I'm not sure however you can still order the badge delete. I know the MBUSA site shows it and it was in the ordering system way back when I ordered in July, but now my final build configuration shows that option was dropped. I already asked my salesperson to have the rear badges removed anyway so I'm sure your dealer could do it too if you ask.

Nice... I grew up in Pleasant Hills and then eventually moved to Bethel Park.

I'm still debating on the wheels. I really like the wheels that I ordered (605 - 19" AMG Multispoke - Titanium), but I wouldn't mind a wider wheel in the summer. I am definitely going to lose the run flats. I think I am going to replace the run flats with Continental ExtremeContact DWS 06 all-season tires, and then evaluate whether or not to get the wider C63's 662 - 19" AMG Cross-Spoke Forged - Black wheels, some time next summer.

I would strongly advise against all season tires. Why compromise on the performance of the car? Plus the all seasons are noisy, compared to summer tires. I've ordered my C450 with the 19s and summers, but I will be getting a set of 18 rims with dedicated winter tires. The best of both worlds, I guess

I'm definitely not going with summer tires on the 7.5 x 19 ET 44 front (8.5 x 19 ET 52 rear) wheels before making a final decision on the 8.5 x 19 ET 38 front (9.5 x 19 ET 56 rear) wheels. I would keep the run flats before doing that. I'll get the summer tires when I get the larger wheels.

That's what winter tires are for, buddy. I have been using blizzaks run flats on my RWD 3351 for 5 years, with no problem, and I live in western Canada. I definitely wouldn't use summer tires at those low temperatures, and all season tires are garbage, compared to winter tires in low temperatures

Your killing me... I am not buying multiple sets of tires before I determine the final wheel sets. If I was going to drive the car extensively in the snow, I would get snow tires, but even then with an AWD vehicle, it would have to be some serious time in the snow (as in daily driver, which it's not).

I think it is just a fluke that they have not released vehicles with these inserts. I just thought it was M-B pissing-off the guys from Philly. I am assuming Tmoney's car is still a "no show" too. I think he has the Ash Wood.

There can't be any Philly deliveries yet because they can only occur after there are NY deliveries because we all know that in all aspects, NY always comes before Philly. That's why Philadelphians have an inferiority complex.
