Pano roof shortage
Hello everyone - I went to my dealer over the weekend and what he said matches what is being mentionned on the pano roof shortage. I am located in Canada.
I am interested in the ML with the premium package - that's it - and while I really like the pano sunroof, I can live with the moon roof. The dealer mentionned that there would be a price adjustment if that is the case. He did not know how much that would be as he just learned this the day before.
Has anyone heard of how much this would be? I found a thread on a SLK board where they had the opposite - cars would come with the pano roof rather than that standard one and the discount provided was $500:

The Premium Package w/o Pano Roof (code MPX) will be $300 cheaper than the original Premium Package (code MPP) for Canada.

I was just on the MB Canada site and noticed that in the configuration tool that the premium package no longer lists the pano roof and the price dropped by $400.

Anyone know how bad the pano roof shortage is for the US market?
We've received an [about finalized] build date for our ML but now the Pano roof is in question.
Thanks!

But what is funny is, now I'm reading this thread, and just the other day my friend who works for benz said that they are having a real hard time getting ML's with running boards, and get this....All Season Weather Mats? As a matter in fact he said his dealership tried to get the running boards through Benz to install on a customers truck and they said they were on massive back order! Seriously???....WTF! This whole roll out of the ML has been a DeBoggle in my eyes....Starting with the delay of the lites...

Delays
I am not bitter, but I agree this is the worst of the 3 model launches in terms of having promised options available. This is probably only an issue for us enthusiasts that are particular about the specs of our cars. Having to wait 9 months to give M-B my $67k or so is kind of unusual. They're just lucky the X5 is long in tooth and not an option for me right now.

Waykool, I had my ML350 on order with the running boards and due to production delays, the dealer found me the essentially same vehicle without them and I couldn't be happier. The truck actually looks great without them because there is a chrome strip that runs the length of each side where the running boards would be. The Benz running boards have become so common (GL and ML) that it looks cool without them, and I find that they can get in the way in and/or out of the vehicle, and there's also the dirty pants issue!

I happen to like them, and the point i was making was on how can Mercedes just have nothing available? Let me guess, its because of weather outbursts in Asia?

NO such thing as US market folks the worlds supply of MLs comes from the good ol' USA.
So shortage is the same world wide.

Lol...no im not complaining on behalf of other people.
Im getting my truck replaced because of a few on going issues, and my dealer is telling me that there are zero trucks out there in the color i want with Pano and running boards.
Yes i do like the truck...however dont like this BS with Benz being a mess with having things available, and being told there is a shortage! Bad Business in my book.
