I am waiting too. I am thinking since they were off past 2 weeks - Monday may not be the day we find out. It may take them 2-3 days to get in the rhythm. I am hoping for some news later next week. I am optimistic.

Great! I've been through this twice before and until I get that production date I don't feel 100% sure that what I ordered is really going to appear

If your GL is scheduled for Feb 20 then you should be fine. Which GL did you order?

450. Actually was pushed back from an early February build date in order to get Distronic, which wasn't available when I placed my original order.

The vehicle is supposed to go into production this month, I'll have to look into the paper work and see if a build date is stated, if not I will contact my rep and get back to you with an answer

The latest i got from my dealer was "it's scheduled for the 2nd week of Feb."...... there is a PO number associated with the order, but I don't know whether thats assigned by the dealer or MB. Since this is my 3rd time around with this process, you would think I would remember!

If you have a PO number then you are good to go. A PO number is assigned by MB factory when the factory accepts the dealer order.
