C63 US Price Officially announced!
What I'm curious about is some contents of P1 in the base C, none of which is mentioned as standard or optional on the C63:
Rain-sensing wipers
Auto-dimmng mirror
Power folding mirrors
Garage door openers
Standard or unavailable?
Regarding the Pano Roof. If that is the case from AMG then why is the roof available on other amg models? Shouldn't their belief on handling etc be true throughout the model lineup? Oh well, I guess I understand this stance but I was really hoping it would be available. I am not going to take the car to limits where I notice any difference in handling so the extra few hundred pounds wouldn't matter to me.
Thanks again! At least keyless go is planned...
Yeah I thought the same thing, but I sense that AMG wanted to really step up the handling to compete with the M3 and exluding the pano helps ensure all cars that go head to head in reviews are in a better position to compete.

I beleive all of these are standard on the C63.
Also remember that the "P" packages usually include the lower P packages. For example, a P2 package includes the contents of P1 but adds some new items. On other MB models for example, P3 includes P2 which includes P1, etc.
The "announcement" details were, according to the private lounge, the "highlights" of the C63 and not meant to be an all exclusive list. I guess they just considered some of the other things to not be "highlights".
The items will be there, it just would not make sense otherwise for the small things.

The Best of Mercedes & AMG

Over half of the spec numbers are not even listed on the european spec car [But Im sure most of it is standard, whats with the Elagance de badge?]
So the total price
for your beast with all that extras is $?????
En extract of mail response from a MB dealer in NY area...
Hello.The base price of the C63 will be $53,800 plus $825.00 for destination and delivery charge. You would add options after that. I do not know if there will be a gas guzzler tax on this vehicle. Most likely I expect it will have it. I would expect a nicely equipped one to run just around $60k. Pricing on the options has not been released yet. The first C63's will be arriving at dealers mid to end of April.

We have to pay about $106K here in the UK, speak about shafted.

Cheers
Eck
what is elegance badging?

In the US, they market two design variants. The Elegance is called the Luxury here. The other variant is the Sport, which is the European Avantgarde with the AMG body panels. In Europe, the variant is identified on the flank with a badge. I'm not sure how US C-classes are badged. My guess is that all US C-class cars have the badge deleted since the names Classic, Elegance and Avantgarde are not used by MBUSA now. Therefore they would all have this "option."
