I guess my dealer was right when he said our 450 would be at the dealer by April 10/12.

Mine is still on the train. Hopefully this week it should be here in Toronto.
I was reading the specs and options of 2017 gls 450 with the options to see if soft close doors are available in Canada. I have all the options and still was not able to find any info.
Anyone know if soft close door is available in Canada?

I am in Alberta and confirmed with my dealer this past Friday that the delivery can take place in the end of April as long as Benz has no problem releasing it.

Well some of us ordered in Nov!!! Which would help explain your dealers lack of an open allocation currently. I'm sure you'll get an allocation soon.

Active curve and night package came in just under our estimate. Getting a vin is a great thing. Inching closer

Not really. All I know is that 350's were supposed to be released last month, but not until Benz Canada runs more emission tests and pass. My dealer is just as clueless as I am.
