My dealer is ready to take my order for a 45

Thanks for the update, time to contact my dealer (and my unresponsive salesperson)

great, good to know
i wonder how many orders they got within the first 24 hours, must be a lot considering the hype around it

I think they officially open around July 1, but my dealer is setting up pre-orders so they will be ready when the time comes. My dealer told me yesterday that there will not be an edition 1 gla 45 in the US

Do you have any email or anything written that says there will be no Edition 1 GLA? That's interesting.

My salesman said that he does not have the full GLA order guide yet, but is expecting it soon. As soon as he sends it to me, I plan on sharing it here with the message board.

I do not have anything official , other than what the inventory manager at my dealership told my salesman. I wanted to order a gla 45 edition 1 and made the request to my salesman, after several days, and what they told me were several calls to MB , try said there would be an edition 1 in the regular gla, but not one in the gla 45. I am going to try to get verification from another source before I give up. I will keep the forum informed.

If anyone else has any information please post.

I have no reason to trust or distrust what my salesman told me. It just seemed odd that something that has been so prominently featured in promotional media would not be available.
A different dealership I talked to couldn't say either way, because the official order guide, and dealer allocations have not come out yet.

are there any known differences between the japanese edition 1 and the american market edition 1?

likely nothing to do with the package but more so with how the vehicle comes standard in that market.

good to know

 

[AMGz]

there's not much they can really do from market to market with what these special editions add to the cars

Isn't it about time for them to release MSRP and fuel economy figures, even if lead time for delivery is 3-4 months? Getting some demo vehicles into dealers would be nice too.

Are we the last market without a price? Going of off others its fair to assume just over $30K , the CLA was a strugle to get below $30K now toss in AWD and there goes that bubble...

that's what it seems to be right now, they have nothing on gla pricing for the u.s. market. just a page on mbusa.

My dealer says my order could go in on Monday, unfortunately, the sunroof is not yet available for the 45, so I told him I would wait. He didn't have pricing yet.

did he say how long after the 250's the 45's would be available? I wonder if we're going to see the same kind of dealys for the 45 that the CLA guys had to deal with...

chances are we could, i think it's safe to say that, as long as you're patient enough the wait will be worth it.
