Welcome jfk, was no need to lurk in the shadows, many of us were here while waiting for our GLA. Congratulations on your GLA 45. Many folks will be interested to hear if yours was one of the 2016 models that had been tied up in the MB Vehicle Processing Centers for various reasons nobody could pin down or verify. Also, are you in the US, Canada, or elsewhere (both nations apparently have the GLA 45s tied up)? If it is a 2016 model, you will make many folks happy. Please take some time to share some details about your GLA 45 as well as photos.
