Greg. Thanks. Great info. We now have confirmation for the color MFC. The top view camera looks to be just a rumor because it is not mentioned. The Soft Close Doors feature is not clear whether it belongs to a package or stand alone since no price is tagged.

YYZ: do you have this info for the Canadian configuration. Please post it if you can. My SR is a bit slow for this kind of service and sharing such info is a sin. He will resuscitate only while signing the contract. I am still waiting since 6 weeks for a test drive for lack of demo units which are sold while unloading from transport.

GregW, thanks for posting the 2013 order info. Do I read it correctly? It looks like the off-road package is not available with the BlueTec? Is that correct, or I wonder if its intended to be released later? Is the off-road package available in Europe with BlueTec? If its not available, what is MB thinking? "You're killing me Smalls." The best configuration for off-road is the high torque of diesel. Maybe too high torque for the driveline in locked up mode? If so, they should de-rate the motor, or beef-up the driveline.

Off-road package was not available on the 164 with the BT due to the AdBlue system. I'll look into it tomorrow.

Greg, how did you reach an agreement on price? So many things are still up in the air. Did you request a certain % off of the MSRP, whatever figure that might be when everything is determined? In other words something like "I'll buy the car for 8% off sticker price" or what? That is what I'm thinking of doing but I am still uncertain as to how these things work. Also, what is Active Curb System?

942 w/ 888
Greg - could your SA actually configure these two options together? I tried with my SA on my '12 order, but 942 couldn't be configured with 888 (which was part of P2). I guess they don't want to have two versions of the locking compartment cover - one "regular" and one accommodating the Cargo Management rails.
Let me know if this holds up, thanks.

2008 Honda CR-V, 2013 ML350 on order
Hi Greg,
Thanks for sharing this information. I spoke to my SA and he said he is ok to cancel my current order and place one for MY2013, but he says that the price will not be available until July or so.
Any idea when the base price will be made available? Also, do you know if the 2WD model will be available from July? I am interested in it for a slightly better mileage with gasoline.

Thanks for the link on the Active Curve System. I understand it very well now and can see where it would be beneficial to some types of drivers. As for my pricing question, I see that you are going from invoice (plus) rather than MSRP (minus). That may be the smarter thing to do.

BTW, I notice you appear to have given up on the BlueTEC.

Suspension options
Nope. I'm guessing that together with the 20" wheels they will be at or near the old Dynamic Handling Package price of $5,150. Given that the R33 wheels are $750, that would put AIRMATIC, Adaptive Damping and Active Curve at around $4,400. Seems like if you get the two you list you should get the Adaptive Damping as well.

YYZ-E55, do you have any more information regarding the availability of the off-road package with Bluetec? I still suspect its a torque thing in low range. Neither the diesel nor the ML63 appear to be available with the two speed transfer case. I'm guessing that mid 400's and mid 500's torque is too high for the driveline in low range, although I would have thought that could be mitigated by the transmission?
From my perspective the Bluetec is the way to go, but I was hoping to get the off-road package as well. Lots of terrain would be reachable without the x-fer case with airmatic and skid plates. Are skid plates available? Kinda makes me want to wait and see what Jeep does with the JGC for MY 2013.
