Supposedly they are having technical difficulties with the website. At least that's the answer I got at the beginning of December. None of the AMG models have been updated on the website yet. Not sure what's taking this long to get it sorted out. I just had my dealer email me the order guide.

The 2019 E53 AMG coupe is up. So it's not an AMG thing.

For the Canadian site its actually getting ridiculous.... I had to find out all the options and packages pretty much when I ordered my C43 coupe instead of being able to play around online. As some other have mentioned the dealerships are starting to get models on their lots yet the old C43 configurator is all you get online.

I was chatting with MB USA earlier to get an update. The latest information is that it should be up in the next 2 weeks. Back in November, they told me 2-4 weeks, so who knows. They couldn't tell me the reason for the long delay, but said it was unusual and it should be up shortly. To place the order for my C63CS I got the order guide from my dealer which has all the options and pricing and I used the MB Germany online configurator to play around with the options and see how the configuration looks.Not the end of the world.

The problem with that is every market is different in terms of options and packages and somethings aren't even offered in certain countries. For example, in Germany you can pretty much pick and choose everything individually but in Canada it all comes in packages that lumps things together. In Germany you also have the option of getting glossy and metallic keys but in Canada we only get the regular trim keys offered.

Yes, that is true, but the order guide describes the packages and options, so in the German configurator you can put the same spec together. It ends up lining up just fine, at least it did for me based on the US order guide. The US packages are actually the same, but Germany gets some additional options that are not available here, so I just didn't bother with them. There are some slight exterior differences that won't show up in the renders such as amber reflectors and the ugly humps on the rear bumper for low speed impact. Not sure if Canadians get them, too, but it's a close enough approximation. The order guide is more detailed than the online configurators, so if you just want to see what the options are, what's new, the different paints, interiors etc. and pricing of each of the options, then ask a dealer to email you the order guide and start with that. I mostly used the configurator to see how the exterior and interior will look like for my spec and play with the interior and exterior options, although there are still some errors even in the German configurator. At the end I stopped by the dealer to put the spec into their system to make sure there are no conflicts between the options I chose and had them print out my build. I then ended up placing my order with another dealer. I just handed them the printout of my spec and they put the order into the system.

YA ! now you can build the A class but still showing 2018 C43 on mbusa website.
i'm surprised the A class got MORE safety features (driver assistance package) and 360 degree camera that the CLA dont have. and cheaper than CLA too.

As you say it looks incredibly odd!! when USA, possibly it's one of it's main markets.

on the EU sites, you can download directly from the site, the price & options catalogs and they update them anytime there is a change. For instance first time I downloaded in September it's been updated, 2, 3 times, in Spain.

When I looked at the different country sites, for reference, I noticed Uk it's the one with less options and packs available. Germany it's the biggest one, France and Italy as the German market has the Designo interior option, something in Spain only the 63 AMG has. On the rest they are pretty similar giving you quite a number of packs. Spanish one, we have 2 Premium packs that if you want certain options you are forced to add one of them.

We should consider that the new WLTP ruling it's forcing companies to have less "individual" options and more packages, as the homologation of the car based on C02 emissions etc.. considers the wheight, options etc... and this is were many brands are struggling to homologate all of it's variants as they need to pass each combination doing tests in the bench.

My first option was and RS3 sedan, but just give-up waiting and no answer, as Audit has all of it's S and RS models stopped and not clear when they resume the production since August las year.
