Picked up my GLC today in a rainy day

Looks great. I wanted the running boards but the wife doesn't like them because it makes for a wider step in which is a problem when she wears certain skirts. :/ I acquiesced but I still have time to modify the order
The flat bottom steering wheel DEFINITELY comes with the Designo Platinum White/Black Nappa interior package (we have one). It DOES NOT come with the Designo Black Nappa package. When we configured our car in June when orders opened, we had the same question and I called MBUSA in Englewood. The customer service agent called corporate in Germany and was told that the DOG photos were pre-production and not to expect it in the US market. Fortunately, that information was wrong. My guess is that a designer specifically spec'd that wheel with the White/Black package (and the black open pore ash, but only on the center stack, not the doors), because they liked the look.
I'm also a bit baffled; take a look at these two reviews of US-spec GLC300. Both have cars with the sports package and both have stitched dashes. However, first video shows dual binnacle (see around 8:10), but the second does not (see around 4:10). So it's really unclear to me what is going on here, and I've been following the GLC launch closely in both the U.S. and Europe. Makes me wonder the MB have their act together.
(Btw, those 18" rims in the pic above are indeed common in European-spec GLCs. Unimaginable they put on the wrong wheels in the factory, but who knows...)
The one we test drove didn't have those guage cluster things either. I just figured it was something they put on after the sale because it was something that is at risk for being stolen. Like lexus removes the knob from the shifter.

Reason: I mispelled

No, they don't put the binnacles on after the sale. A GLC either comes with them or doesn't. But what exact option makes them included in the build is still a mystery. At least to me it is.

Hi I'm new to this forum but been reading for a few weeks now.
Just about to order a new glc in the UK your wheels are the ones which if I order have to come with the off road pack which raises the height of the car , is it the same on your spec and if so can you notice the difference ? because i'm thinking unless they make the wheels bigger then there must be a larger gap between the top of the tyre and the wheel arch.
BTW I want beige interior so I cant order the AMG because in the UK it only has black interior so it has to be the @sport @ model.

The problem with a beige interior is that denim jeans turn the beige a shade of blue. Darker interiors are easier to live with. Your call.
Tesla Model 3, BMW X5 (potentially being replaced by a GLC300)
Finally Arrived
After a long delay, my wife's car finally arrived. We placed a deposit on Oct 24 and the car arrived this Tuesday, Jan 5. I'll give the details on what happened and the final negotiation on the deals thread but here are the pictures.

Not to be a creep or anything, but I recognized that you bought your car at Mercedes White Plains and was wondering what your experience was. I bought my ML and my old E350 there and had a good experience there (except the manager who was dealing with my trade-in was very rude). I get my car serviced at their partner dealership, Mercedes of New Rochelle, and find it to be a horrific experience every time. I just wanted to know if you experienced anything similar to this in your visits.

You are absolutely right. It was MB White Plains.
My purchase experience was actually really good. The sales lady and her manager were respectful despite long and hard negotiations. But probably it was the year-end thing that they had to make a sale.
I don't live nearby, so am not even sure if I will bring the GLC there for service. I may find a closer dealer in the Queens/Long Island area.
No, they don't put the binnacles on after the sale. A GLC either comes with them or doesn't. But what exact option makes them included in the build is still a mystery. At least to me it is.
FWIW the MB Canada "GLK configurator" just shows a dark, empty space where the binnacle would be when you build a car online- so there seems to be no way, shape or form of telling what will show up in that space based on whatever features or options you either add or delete. So the mystery continues.
BTW this "pictures thread" sure has degenerated into the "binnacle mystery thread" in many ways; I sure hope as people continue to get their cars, more images show up here.

There's a separate thread I started regarding the binnacle mystery, as it had become apparent the picture thread was starting to have too many posts regarding this topic. Right now I think the strongest theory is that any package containing a driver assistance feature (i.e. Advanced Parking Assist, Driver Assistance) triggers the binnacles: https://mbworld.org/forums/glc-class...-question.html
