Seriously. Let's see if the sales guy tries to re-tread on our deal at pickup before hugs are doled out to him.

Yes, Magno/matte. I bet they are nearly as eager as we are to clear out their storage.

My SA notified me Wed that my car is released. VPC is Baltimore, MD. Dealership is in Hagerstown, MD. I am getting 3M clear film installed on front surfaces and windows tinted. Should take delivery end of next week or first week of Dec at the latest. It has been 1 year since I ordered this car. My car did not get a HUD due to lack of supply. Anyone else have the same issue?

My car was scheduled 1st decade of June built 2nd and it has the HUD, but didn’t get the night package as it was unavailable at the time. Judging from other comments, I think I have one of the last summer builds with the HUD. I was a little pissed to not get night package but it can mostly be corrected with some wrapping, can’t add the HUD. So I guess it’s a trade off for MB logistical ineptitude.

You guys are keeping cars that arent what you ordered after waiting that long? You can be sure that if my e63s lands in Montreal not the way I ordered it, the dealership is gonna be wiped off the map.

I was called about the lack of parts and told I could push my build date back. At that point I was told August delivery. I didn’t get night package but in hindsight if I did push it back I would have no HUD.

In my opinion it appears MB has changed their entire marketing strategy. They couldn’t care less about us they are more concerned about selling $30K cars than selling $100K+. I mean look at the commercials, constantly advertising $299 leases. They want to be the new Honda. They feel the boomers are dying and they are trying to connect to millinneals. We may feel like we are getting screwed but the kid buying the CLA is getting red carpet treatment.

I was fortunate enough to get the HUD and night package. Let's hope they both got put on the build. Will know next week.

May seem like that out of frustration, but clearly that isn't the case with them launching products at both the lower, middle and upper ends at the same time. What Mercedes is doing is trying to cover ever niche like BMW and Audi are doing. I think they have lost that tight focus of years past, but they are clearly not trying to be Honda.
