Ha, I am here as well, but where I drive it's not too bad. In any case, you need to get winters asap, those Michelins PS4 are not good when it's cold.
Great looking car.

Just picked up mine yesterday. Everyone complains about 4 cylinder but honestly it's great. Only down side is on way home from pick up my cel came on. Sure it's just firmware update or similar as everything seems to function fine.

^ Nice spec!

Sad to hear CEL came on already. Was hoping they made some improvements for MY24. It's probably nothing but still a pretty crappy feeling

Sorry to bring up an old thread. Just a question for those who have received their cars. Did the cars ship from South Africa ( East London) to Bremerhaven, Germany first in your experience? And then to North America?

Or were the cars shipped directly from East London to North America for you?

Thanks so much.

Trying to get insight into if my dealer knows what they are saying... I was told my car is on route from East London to Bremerhaven, but they dont have any more details. I also, dont see any shipping schedules for ships going this route so am a bit puzzled.

Thanks in advance.

Your Canadian dealer is clearly wrong: From S. Africa, it goes all the way north to the Arctic ocean, then around Greenland, down the Hudson Bay to Ontario. But they need to hurry before the route freezes over.

My car came straight from South Africa to North America but that's not the normal path from what I was learning/being told while waiting. I've heard the normal path would bring them to Germany first and then from there come here.

Yeah, exactly this. Ive heard both things. Not sure which is true or perhaps both are true and the route varies depending on time of year and ships available. Usually the cars dont ship directly to Ontario. They are shipped the Halifax and then transported by rail or truck to Ontario, Canada. This was the response my dealer received from MB Canada.



In any case, my SA who is on vacation returns end of next week so I will touch base with him and hopefully get some more info!

Thanks for the response guys.
