Nice! 
The one in front of mine finally showed up at the dealer today (it was on the same slow boat from Alabama that iwork4wine's was on
).
Mine went D5 "RELEASED TO CARRIER" today (blew right past D4 which was the state that the first build group sat in, in Baltimore for so long).

When's your expected arrival then?

C450, GLS 63 and a few other things
Just got back from my dealer. They stated they had 4 in stock. I physically saw 2 and test drove one of those. Very pleased with the power and handling, confirms my plans to order one now that I've driven it (or who knows, may buy off the lot).
Sat down to configure one and confirmed that the interior package requires the Premium 2 package. Selecting Black Leather required the interior package (and hence the Premium 2 package). Selecting Black Leather with Red Stitching did not require the interior package, and resulted in a 0 charge. Not sure if the order would go through or not, but it seems like that is an option to keep costs down. We explored because the sticker on one of the lot cars had black leather with red stitching, A D01 $1460 package (without heated seats, and without the Premium 2 package) So we were exploring how to get leather without the radio.
Autopal has been asking about exhaust sound. Pretty quiet in comfort, a little louder in Sport, and lots of exhaust sounds (still somewhat "muted") in Sport +. Definitely a good effort, but I own two high performance V8 cars, and this is nothing like that. Quieter and less mean, but sounds great compared to other similar size motors.

Yeah, that was pretty much the rule, but this past three weeks kind of trashed that rule. Hopefully the last three weeks was the anomaly and not the new rule.

It seems like they got all of the packages correct.

I definitely wants pics of your vehicle. I would have went with the designo seats but the white handles steered me away but I love the stitching.

Base Sound System
I think the base audio is adequate for me. On my favorites CD, the music may not be quite as rich sounding, but I can't hear $1600 of difference. The speaker grills still have an attractive "shower head" design, with the black color nicely matching the ash trim:

Compared to my C400, the exhaust note is much more assertive yet not aggressive. Cruising on the highway, the exhaust is not loud enough to be tiresome. But accelerating away from a light, even with moderate throttle, there's a nice rasp. On the overrun, there's smile-inducing popping. In Sport+, I think the trans is rev-matching on the downshifts accompanied by popping from the exhaust. Bear in mind, I'm respecting break-in constraints and haven't broken 4000 rpm. When broken-in, I think the exhaust will be very entertaining.
