I got my 2016 Mercedes-Benz GLC220d AMG!
I just got my 2016 Mercedes-Benz GLC220d 2 days ago. The car has close to every option available in the European market (options for close to 40.000 USD).
Except that I hate 4-cylinder engines, the car is a dream to drive and look at (I will post pictures soon), but the suspension (I have air suspension) is actually a bit soft for my tast so I drive with S+ all the time even with 20" wheels.
I will test the car with 22" Borbet wheels later today (if they fit) and I post how that works.
The options on my car is in breif:
- AMG Sport package exterior
- AMG Sport package interior with leather/alcantara
- Leather on dash and middle console
- Air suspension
- Panoramic sunroof
- Burmeiser sound system
- COMAND system
- 360 camera and park assist
- Distronic and all drive assist systems (which now event takes the car around turns and it works "almost"...)
- Sidesteps in alu
- 20" AMG wheels (which now has ML/GLE tire dimensions)
- Electrically hitch kit
- Memory seats both sides in front
- Seat-heater in front and back
- ILS light system
- Keyless - GO
- Dark windows in the back

Interior design is much better than ML, GLE coupe and GL series.
In Turkey, only few showrooms has recieved GLC. I have ordered GLC250 4MATIC at the end of July but i have one more month to have it.

Congrats! How do you like it so far? We are either buying this or the BMW X3 28d M Sport. Did you ever compare to the X3 and if so, how did the interior dimensions compare?
Wish the US was getting the diesel model right away. I assume the gas model we are getting will get decent mpg though.

Sorry for the late review, but a bit busy at work.
I now got about 4.500 km (2.800 miles) on my new GLC220d and the car is brilliant. It handels very good (my individual set up is, suspension in Sport, engine in Sport, gearbox in comfort, stearing in Sport) and with 20" wheels it is not to hard on the suspension (I drive on quite bad roads.
The only "glitch" so far is the Keyless Go that 2-3 times does not find my key which is the same as my MY 2015 C250d T 4Matic last winter.
The interior looks supermondern as does the exterior, which in fact is bigger than my first ML W163 back in 1998.
I do not like the startup sound on the 4cylinder diesel, but the power is of for now. I guess I will upgrade for the GLC450 AMG or the GLC63 S AMG which by the rumors will be the quickest SUV ever....
The milage is still not good enough, since the car is new, but on my last trip this sunday it did 6,1 liter per 100 km, which is 38,5 US miles per gallon. The average so far is 6,5 liter per 100km (36,2 US miles per gallon), but I have quite a heavy right foot.
All in all - i love my new GLC.
DBV - I have compared it to my sisters 2013 BMW X3 which I find a bit old compared to the new GLC, both inside and out. And the ride comfort on the GLC with airmatic (I have not driven it without) is in a different league than the BMW X3.

Hi, Norway 100. Now that you've had your air body control air suspension for a while, how is it working for you? Have you had any problems with it? I can't decide for myself yet if it's worth the $1900 i'm going to pay. I just ordered my car two days ago. Thanks.

I now have 7.500 miles (12.000km) and it have not had any problems with the air suspension or anything else. It has been quite a cold winter and I have driven the car quite a lot on temperature range -20 tå - 30 celsius (which is about -15 to -25 farenheit). I would not by the car without air suspension for my use.
All in all a brilliant car - but still waiting for news regarding GLC43 AMG...

I am running on snow tires -- Yokohama W.drive 265/40-21. In combination With air suspension it is perfect both to look at and to drive.

So the GLE and ML have the same boat pattern as the GLC? I thought the GLC bolt pattern (5x112) is the same as C Class and E Class...

Nope! This ML63 AMG/S63 AMG wheel is 10 inch wide and that is to wide - not for the overall offset, but it will be in contact with the suspesion.
