and then some...
It was a tough three months waiting for the build... But I would have to say that it was worth the wait.
When I finally got the word last Thursday (we had been emailing back and forth because the truck was five hours late), the email read "Just got here. Looks awesome."
I replied...
"Don't touch it. Don't even look at it. Go on, get out. You heard me. Don't look at me, either."
(He immediately got it).
Here are the remaining pictures that I didn't post last week.
The car has the following options:
792 Palladium Silver Metallic $720
319 Lighting Package $ 800
320 Multimedia Package $ 2,690
389 HANDS-FREE Access Package $ 250
997 Driver Assistance Package $ 2,250
P02 Premium 2 Package $ 1,520
P63 designo Platinum White Performance Seat Package $ 6,400
235 PARKTRONIC with Active Parking Assist $ 970
281 AMG Performance Steering Wheel $ 500
413 Panorama Sunroof $ 1,480
463 Head-Up Display $ 990
540 Power Rear-Window Sunshade $ 440
605 19" AMG® Multi-Spoke Wheel - Titanium $ 850
H84 Silver Fiber Glass Trim - Matte $ 1,300
P21 Air Balance Package $ 350
I have some pics that I took today that I will upload shortly... (they are a little brighter and easier to see).

I still don't know when I'll be taking delivery. While the C300 Sport is here, the GLA Sport was supposed to be built today, but my dealer isn't sure when MB will be releasing the 2016 GLAs to their dealers. I hope not too long. It's killing me knowing my car is here and just sitting there waiting for me........

Yes, it does concern me that the GLAs will be held-up ala C450. I do hope they're not, but they certainly could be. One reason would be for the dealers to continue selling the remaining 2015s. But the logic in that is flawed. If a customer comes in for a 2016 and a dealer tried to steer them to a 2015, but customer can just walk and take the time to look at other options. Sell 'em what they want when they want it I say!

So, MBUSA site still shows 2015 GLAs in the configurator, have you seen anything that says when the official 2016 GLA launch is? I had a list of all of the launch months... I'll have to see if I can dig that up.

Awesome man, thanks for sharing images of your ride. If I every find the craving of cancelling my order to take a 450 off a lot I will come back to this thread to remind me why I chose Palladium Silver & Designo Platinum Nappa.
I look forward to the delivery day so I can take her birthday photos.

Our ML is Palladium, so I spent a few weeks going back and forth on color... I wasn't sure if I wanted to have two vehicles with the exact same color. Finally, I decided screw it, I love Palladium - that's what we are going with.

I forgot to mention that I am going to get the leather interior protection applied (hopefully Saturday), I'll let you know how that goes and whether it was a good idea to get it.

Much appreciated, I'm worried about those blue jeans so the protection should help with that right?

Thx guys... My motto on this build was "no regretz." I really didn't want to come back and say "I wish I had included this or that..." The final MSRP was $72,955. I think we determined that it was the second most expensive C450 in the country (only to be outdone by someone that had a build with designo paint and carbon fiber mirrors and spoiler). My cost was significantly less (as I was able to get a substantial discount being related to one of the employees).

The specialist that does the paint and upholstery protection for all of the vehicles at the dealership, says that he really likes the stuff and applies it to his own vehicle. So I am hopeful that it will do the job. I'll get the specifics of the chemicals when I go to have it applied.
