Question Ugh! my GL still "in production"

Who else is waiting for their GL? Cars that were "behind" mine have been built, but my is still IP. Dealer thinks it could be the colour (Peridot, ie VB).
My car was a changed order, not a new order. I'm in Canada, and apparently the guys just get a weekly printout, no live "netstar" stuff.

Brocktoon, what was your expected deliveryd date? You may run into '09 production soon if MB follows GM/Ford/Chrysler production cut offs. GM is "built out" on some models already.

Did the dealer in Calgary have a selection on the lot? If so, why did you order?

Nah, it's '08 production. if it's an '09 we don't have a deal. Nothing on the lot here, just one in transit when I bought, and that was cubanite with cashmere interior & RSE. "Mine" was an existing order for Black on Black, but changed the colour, and deleted a few options.

Should have an update today....

Just to make you feel good the train that Stumblefoot's and my 550's were on broke down and delayed delivery....:-) But lightening couldn't strike twice could it.

Congratz.... you have been waiting a long time and much more patient than many I know... me included!

Thats crazy how long your car is taking to build. I was at my local dealership here in Las Vegas and counted 12 320 CDIs, 7 GL 450s and 5 GL 550s sitting on the lot without any buyers but the local dealership would not deal much on them so I am going to wait for 09 and pay MSRP. I did notice all the 320cdi vehicles were PO1 packages so were the GL450s, The sales guy said they try to order cars below the 70k mark since anything above that scares people away. I really hate our Las Vegas MB stealership.
