We just picked up our GLC 250 earlier this week!
Specs as follows:
In Australia, the standard equipment for the car also includes the following, which I understand are optional in some other markets:
Some exterior photos outside in the sun:
Some photos of the interior - I was worried the black interior might be too dark, but there is plenty of light with the panoramic sunroof:
And lastly, a couple of photos from the dealership when I picked up the car:
Driving it has been absolutely awesome the last few days. Can't wait to get past the break-in period so I can give it a bit of a push in Sport/Sport+ and see how well it goes.

Beautiful car. Mine arrives Brunswick Port this week. Should be in Dallas by the end of the month. My wife is very excited.

Thanks everyone! Couldn't be happier with it so far. It looks beautiful and drives great (and in the US you get is as a 300, not a 250, so I can only imagine it's even better for you guys).
The weather was good so we went for a pretty long drive to help get us through the break-in period.
Maybe I am more surprised than most drivers as my previous ML was practically ancient at this point (2002), but the technology in this car is blowing me away.
We got stuck in stop & go traffic coming back into Melbourne from a country drive, and I had the Distronic & steering assist on. For 20+ minutes, the car basically drove itself with no manual brake or accelerator required, and kept to its lane perfectly while my hands were on the steering wheel. Almost felt like magic.

Love the running boards...makes it look a little more stout. My wife nixed them as on my X6 she complains about trying to enter the car with a skirt on. Apparently, it makes the step in a bit wider (I'm tall so don't notice). There weren't any models with running boards at the MB dealer for use to check out to see if she has the same issue so we just went without them.

Your timeframe sounds pretty good. Earlier I had predicted a later delivery for you, but I had forgotten to consider that all my experiences have been through European Delivery. I think there is a far greater chance in ED deliveries get "hung up" at the VPC as they convert some Euro features to U.S. specs, and make repairs to the car. Also, there's that chance with ED that customs might pluck your car out for a detailed inspection. In your case you should soon be "good to go!" I'm looking forward to the photos, especially of the Espresso Brown/Black interior!

Agreed...everyone has their own tastes (I love red interior, my wife HATES it). It's just rare that I see an interior color combination that I really dislike. 1970 called, they want their interior back!
