I agree...how do you run out of paint for four months???

I have plans to do some traveling and June is just too late to get the new car...I should have a build date later this week and I am hoping for April delivery.

I just saw pictures of the colour in the GL Picture Thread. Very nice colour, bloody shame you won't be able to have it

To be out of paint for 4 months is just unacceptable. I'm sure they can ask DuPont to give them some...

Anyways, Yeah if you plan on traveling in june then you definitely cannot wait. Now fingers crossed that your build date is asap.

Black is nice regardless....

Good luck with it!

Unacceptable. A complain is due for MB. They can't sell cars this way - does anyone share my opinion that they're too complacent?

Nevertheless, black is also a nice colour for the GL. Remember though to fight for your rights (after all you paid so much).

thats to bad that it wont be red but black should be nice to. Congrats on the new car have fun with it and when you get it i want alot of photos.

I may just send off a missile to MBUSA later today...

Whether they are complacent or just don't give a damn about their customers concerns at this point I don't know. They oviously have great demand for their cars but the inability to meet the demand shows a lacking in management of their production facilities.

Jack, I need to ask this again.

How do you feel about a WHITE GL?

The white looks very nice but I need a change from white cars. White is also very common here in SUV's where black is not that common. I guess people feel a black car is not as cool (temp wise) as a white one with all the sun we have. The color selections are very limited and the black seems to look the best...I don't like the Capri Blue or the Verde Brook green. Silver shades do not excite me anymore either like I had on the E320 (Pewter.)

Thanks for the opinion.

Well, at this point, I can only tell you that I am really jealous and that I (and the rest of us) expect some fantastic pictures soon!
