Got mine on preorder...

I put my money down back in April to secure the first one in So Cal. I'm pretty stoked about it.

It's going to be interesting juggling 3 cars though, heh. I can't give up the E55...not with that much power at this rate. I opted out of the Night package though because it would've postponed the delivery date by 4 months.

Do you suppose they'll offer the gloss black tips separate?

What is the "night package"? I only found information on the internet but nothing on the website. My dealer is asking $2500 deposit and they are telling me that these cars will sell fast.

yes, you are correct. the rear head room is limited and entry is a bit difficult but I need it for my baby!

Yes I ordered 1, hopefully it will be the first batch for HK !

BTW, are you still keeping both the Italia and the spider ?

How did you manage that? Zung Fu tells me they have no ETA for the A45 in HK. CLA45 delivery June 2014 if I place the order now...

Painful lead times here in HK.

Yes, they have no ETA but about 4 months ago I placed a $80000 deposit on the A45. They told me that the edition 1 will be coming to Hong Kong.

My friend ordered a CLA45 (with options its like 950k) and it will arrive in November. He is somewhat regretting with his purchase of the CLA45 cuz so expensive.

Lucky man! I'm sure you past purchase history helped along. Zung Fu could not even give me a price on the A45.

And yes 950K is ridiculous money for a CLA45 but then again the standard spec at 800K is actually pretty well equipped. The 12 months lead time is what's killing it for me. I'm way to impatient to wait 12 months for a car.

No - just a healthy interest in cars Moved to HK 4 months ago and had to let my 458, E63 and Boxster go so I'm considering my options.
