Where to test drive newSL thoughts

None of the dealers in the area are offering a test drive of the new SL as none of them have them in stock and have the ones that are incoming presold already. Often times, manufacturers will bring a car to the dealership for a day or two and the dealers invite customers to try the car. Does anyone know if Mercedes has an event like this going on or upcoming? Any strategies on how to test drive or sit in one?. Any thoughts would be appreciated!

If you just want to sit in one Mercedes is sending a factory car out to the dealers for training purposes. See if your dealer has training coming up.

The dealers are just being trained on the car and it moves on to the next dealer.
