Well... where are you located ?
2018 GLC300's here in the US have been at dealers/available for a bit over 30- days - where are you emailing from ?
Here in the US model years launch early Fall for the next model year - in certain countries/markets - new model year launches in January of that new year.
Again - where are you emailing from ?

Why would you get a better deal now? In general, the vehicle is most likely to be discounted later in the model year, as the desire to lower stock levels and prepare for next year is greater. There is higher demand when a brand new model first comes out, so normally the deals aren't as good.

Typical nonsense thinking..
The ability to buy a 2018 - a full calendar quarter before New Year - more than offsets the "later higher discount".....
Sure you pay a bit more - like that's bad to enjoy a new car for 5-6-7 months earlier... gee's ..

It's definitely advantageous to have the car a full year before it's 1 year old. You do get to have a "new" car for longer. If you drive a lot and plan to bail in a short time, you can end up with a 2 year old car with 50k miles on it, which can sorely impact trade in values.
I do agree though, buy the new car, and enjoy it. I've almost always done that with my new car purchases.

I've never done this as I tend to purchase rather than lease.

Maybe someone can chime in on whether MB still accepts MSD's.
