2014 GLK 250
Just got a call from my dealer. Sounds like they are having trouble getting a production date for a custom 2013 250, so they are going to move me into a 2014 model year. A longer wait, but will be worth it in the long run.

From internal MB memo:
"All Model Year 2013 orders can be entered now in NETSTAR. The GLK diesel Model Year 2013 is available for end of June delivery. Reminder: the Model Year 2014 will be released tentatively in summer of 2013, please take this into consideration. Please allow a three to four month lead time for your orders. "


This is about ED timing:


"CONFIDENTIAL
European Delivery tentative Launch Schedule - MY 2014


Model Euro Delivery tentative LAUNCH
GLK250-4M BlueTec early - August


ALL 2014 MODELS ARE SUBJECT TO AVAILABILITY
We suggest you allow a three-four month lead time to enter orders.

Yes, new color "Dolomite Brown Metallic replaces Cuprite Brown Metallic.

Chrome Tailgate Strip added to AMG Styling and Appearance Package
Parking Assistance Package has been added as a SPC
Driver Assistance Package has been moved to SPC
New option - Heated Steering Wheel (443, $225)
Rear Seat Entertainment System (056)
Interior Ambient Lighting Pkg (317, $310)

Quote from the dealer: "Prices for the 2014 should be pretty much the same as for the 2013, except for a slight inflationary increase of perhaps $500 - $700 on the Base Price of the car."

In addition just got email from Edmunds.com with Invoice price for 2013 GLK250BT. According to them: "...The invoice price is $35,889. We should have full pricing on the site by the week of the 20th..."
