White or Grey are not available for 2012 CLS63??????

I went to order a CLS 63 today and my salesman told me the Diamond White Metallic and Tenorite Grey Metallic are not available in Canada due to the japanese earthquake since April???? Anyone knows is this true ?? How about US or other countries, anyone order in these two colours recently?

it is true because the diamond white paint is made in Japan and the car is painted in germany.

I've ordered a Diamond White CLS63, and have been told it was built as of last Friday. I expect it here in 30 days ±. First I've heard about supply issues with the paint.

Maybe I got my order in just in time. I ordered it in April(!), long before the prices were released. Talk about a leap of faith...

Ordering a new model that early is an adventure, anyway. I ordered the exterior carbon fiber package, only to be told a month later that it had been removed from the options list for U.S. bound cars, for reasons mysterious to me. The carbon fiber rear spoiler is available, but not the mirrors and diffuser.

When I placed my order, I specified ash (grey) leather, and carbon fiber interior trim. The omnipotent computer at MB-USA HQ in Montvale, New Jersey said nope; carbon fiber trim is offered only with black leather. So I changed my order to black leather + carbon fiber. Then, a month or so ago, they said oops, our bad, ash leather with carbon fiber trim is available after all, so my order was changed to that.

God only knows what will arrive. Maybe a chartreuse diesel Mini.

Maybe my Japanese-made Diamond White paint will glow in the dark.

if the car is already in US than it have been made before they went out of paint stock due to Japan disaster.

but if you want to order one now, you will have to wait untill early 2012.
