My local dealer are being very cagey with regards to potential order dates, test drives and delivery dates. Anyone have anything semi concrete? I'm hoping for a September delivery but, judging by the other posts on this forum, am beginning to think that will be a tall ask?

First off, welcome to the site!
We have members here who have put down deposits and have been given dates ranging from June to January. That includes Canada, US and Malaysia and everything in between. I don't think anyone has any concrete dates just yet, only what dealers are speculating.
As the ordering process gets further along I think we'll have more consistent dates. Wish I could help more

Who in USA was able to put a deposit? I was at the dealer last Friday and nobody can take deposits yet...First off, welcome to the site!

So far we have 5 users who's dealers have allowed them to 'put a deposit down' -- though to be honest, with dealers that can mean wildly different things

The money is earning interest for the dealer since no USA dealer can take deposits because they just don't have the information.So far we have 5 users who's dealers have allowed them to 'put a deposit down' -- though to be honest, with dealers that can mean wildly different things

Most likely, but it at least reserves them a spot to order the first dealer allotment.

I wonder about such dealers.
My local dealer knows me since the late 90s and apologized for not being able to accept my check.

Nice, April deliveries in the UK!?!?
Not sure what's happening with the CLA in the UK. Called my local dealer yesterday and asked when a CLA would be available for viewing. Was told it would be soon but would put me through to a sales rep who would discuss the situation further. Said Sales Rep was then "Too busy" to talk to me and would call me back in 5 to 10 minutes. Still waiting....... Don't they want to sell these little gems?
Have ordered mine 2 weeks ago,have put £1000 deposit down,just waiting for them to get back to me regarding delivery dates..just to add they asked me they asked that I still wanted to buy without viewing the car,my reply was no need because of this site I had already viewed the car many times..
Sigh... my local Merc dealership, one in Colchester, Essex, have been cagey with release dates, too.
They know very little about this model, convinced I was talking about the new A-Class, when I mentioned the CLA. Didn't exactly fill me with confidence.
I've taken the pre-release brochure away, but it doesn't contain pricing. Nor does it seem to contain the option for the beautiful neon-yellow stitching interior, I've seen available to German buyers.
Also, and I'm sure this has been mentioned many times before, when will we see the Configurator working on the UK site?! I can use Google translate to make the .DE, .FR and .BE sites readable... but model lines, engines and options/packs differ greatly.
I really do hope the CLA arrives soon. I need to replace my car and I'd rather not go Audi A5 sportback/A7 if I can avoid it. I've decided on a 5-door coupé.. just hope it's the CLA.
