We are Yellow status:

Dealer had a Febuary allotment, we took it and built our GLE 400 this was 19 November. Today we stopped by the dealer to see if any information has dropped. Salesman looked up our car and said it is in Yellow status. Also showed a 3rd quarter Febuary build. "What's this mean"? Well the car is in the production schedule, and it can show up anytime. Then he said he built a GLE400 in early December, and he feels they won't see it till late March+. Next week the wife and I are going to Vance AL, to see the SUV being made. Hopefully they have a question/answer to build questions.

Congratulations. I'm jealous (but of course I just ordered yesterday). Get some cool photos of the tour if you can. That sounds like fun.

Update 5February, Salesman just called-RED status with a build date of 29Februray. Good/bad, we want it now.... P.S. does this mean the car turns another year old every four years?

Yeah, the wait is horrible. We were told today to be ready the first week to week and a half of March for our 400.
