I have to say I was pleasantly surprised... list on it was $189,000 CAD plus tax... it only comes one way here in Canada- ventilated seats, Distronic Plus, carbon engine cover and door sills and last but not least the super duper 1000 w stereo... with any luck I should see it mid to end of October...

That's great to hear. I have one on order at MB Oakville and did not have any details to date other than that one had been allocated for me. Based on comparing foreign pricing of other cars to Canadian pricing I was guessing 185-195k, and agree that it feels like a bargain for the Edition 50 coupe.

Thanks again for the post.

orenlasko,

Do you have the full build details from AMG Canada? I have received a price breakdown but neither my salesperson nor myself can determine if it is coming with the AMG Dynamic Plus Package or active engine mounts. The build-our did not initially show it and AMG indicated those were not Canadian options or part of the build, but the MB portal later showed the track package being included. I know there is a group of buyers in the UK who banded together and managed to get AMG UK to revise their spec and include the option.

I am excited about the car either way, but it seems a shame not to include those two options on what is essentially a junior GT-R, and would think most buyers would appreciate those options.

I'm almost sure there is no dynamic package at all. If it shows up then great. I'll take a look and post.

Thanks - all of that info together is exactly in line with the original order I was provided

Congratulations. The colors and materials look beautiful.

I’m super stoked!!! Can’t hardly wait to see how tear wheel steering feels on the track...

Why not get a GTR for that price?

1. I prefer to fly under the radar

2. Much later availability here in Canada

3. Gtc is 9/10 Gtr with more creature comforts.

4. Mine is a daily driver.

5. Hopefully will hold its value given production amount.

Orenlasko,

Completely agree with points 2-5. The 9/10 GT R and potential to hold value are a large draw for myself - I think the fact that no other GT C coupes are being released as this year's model, will help as well, as it truly will be a 500 car run for the year. My concern is #1 - I too like flying under the radar, though having previously had a matte warp on my 5 series (wrapped 5 years ago), and being unable to avoid attention and questions from people wherever I went, I think it's going to be quite hard to fly under the radar in the GTC edition 50. That said, the car is too much of a beauty to resist, and without the large spoiler in the rear, should be at least a little less in your face than the GT R (which is a beauty too, just not my preference).

Of the 25 coming to Canada, I wonder how many others are coming to the gta.

impossible to fly under the radar with this car, even my regular GTS, which I haven`t owned for a month yet, I have had people come over to compliment and ask questions in parking lots/gas station everytime I took it out, not to mention many other motorists obviously checking it out on the roads .....
