Close to 4000 451s have been sold here already. Most dealers are sold out for several months.

For the record, 10,239 450 cdis were sold in Canada between the end of 2004 and mid-2007.

Wow, thats kind of surprising the numbers arent higher. Did canada have as big of a buildup back in 04 to the release as the US did? I think the last newsletter said 16,000 US deliveries already

Considering that the Canadian car market is only one-tenth of the US market, their sales are very good. Multiply their record by 10 and it works out to over 100,000 sales in four years, about what the US sales will be unless Mercedes changes their distribution plans.
