Love the interior!
I'm very curious to hear your impressions of it, ride, performance, sound etc, especially when compared to G63 (I hope you have some experience with that one).

Congrats. Looks amazing. I continue to think the 2017 G65 will be a collector car with limited versions of these specimens around and the last of a w463 model. Were the carbon side stripes standard or did you spec them? I spent years looking for an aftermarket set and finally found a pair a few months ago. I've only seen them on a few Gs. Aesthetic-wise, I never liked the grey side stripes.

Carbon side strips are an option on AMG's. one of my favorite options really. The G550's can get black ones.

The G65 has a distinct sound. It growls without the G63 rumble and then adds a hiss as well. Lol. As a veteran of 2 G63's and a G550 the "smoother" exhaust notes are fine for me. Acceleration doesn't feel different than G63.

Not noticing any heaviness on the nose. But with a G not sure steering is something to look at too closely. Lol.

MPG average at 10.

Only issue with this one is a squeaky driver seat. Taking it in this week to check it out. My old G63 had same exact squeak when new. I think felt tape on the footwell light on back of driver seat did the trick. It's worse when seat is at lowest height for anyone with similar issues.

Love the platinum black! Never looks dirty! My old 040 G63 was a nightmare.

I drove a 65 at my dealer. Your assessment is spot on. Definitely a lower rumble from the exhaust. And I too could not notice any real difference in acceleration from my G63. And I got on it.

Forgot to mention but the new navigation etc is awesome though. So much faster. Larger, clearer screen too.

The bigger difference i noticed is my wife's 2017 G550 VS her 2013 G550. Ride is much improved. Did get adjustable suspension. Also not as loud now with newer engine/turbos.
