So is today the big day for anyone?

I've been hearing a lot of rumors of a July 15th release date. Just wondering if anyone ACTUALLY got their car today...If so, congrats, and post a lot of pics!!!

If not, anybody have any news on their orders??? Any concrete dates?

I was origionally told the 15th. I went by the dealership today and theyu are showing one vehicle in the build status. I was told I had the first vehicle so I thought this was naturally mine- NOPE. It is a model that is being delivered to have it there for the launch of the new E and CLK. So annoying. No one will get there cars until at least the middle of Aug. (here in the states)

UGH. July 15h is upon is. Back in May, I would have done anything for it to be July 15th. However, like everything long-term that I look forward to, the "big day" has been pushed back - probably around 6 weeks for me. Life sucks.

I waited 6months for my 2001 CLK

Actually, there were 5 brand spankin' new CLK320's and 430's but i didn't want them because it did not have the GPS system...so i ordered one instead.

Probably should have gone with the 430 with no nav, i could've bought an aftermarket anyways...oh well.

Have you cofirmed this with your dealership? Have you seen your build date? Please let me know, if this is the case I am going to be pretty d@#m mad. I hate being fed a load of bull*****. I buy so many cars from Benz and I can't get straight answers.
