New C63 at Penske Covina

Sorry no picture but saw the new C63 AMG at Penske Service Department on West Covina, CA. Saw a guy doing pictorial and the color is kinda like bluish-gray. I didn't/cannot take pix cause I was driving like 5mph and lazy to get to the parking lot and take a closer look, but i regret it for not doing that.

I think he was talking about the fact there were no pics, etc. ITT.

Judging by his username, I don't think he's in CA.

Lol... Penske Service Department is 0.5 miles away from work, but im just lazy to check it out cause im just gonna drool for sure. The sales dept is across the freeway from the service dept, im guessing they just delivered it that day and it was at the service dept for some waxing/detailing so they can put it in the showroom after or who knows maybe its sold already. If i have time later im gonna check it out.

Just got back from the service department, and according to my sales parts guy, they do have the new c63s. Not for sale or not for showroom. It's for training purposes--training for mechanics/part guys/salesmen etc. This car is for all mb penske dealership/service department (training) in california.

Thanks.....

And that's fair. I would hate to have issues and not find a dealer knowledgeable enough to troubleshoot and resolve it. So this will likely become a dealer demo that will eventually go on sale -- at least that's my guess.

Amanuuh, I guess you still have dibs on the first C63S in SoCal.

Most of these cars are still in production, both US & Canada. I haven't seen a C63 S at the VPC in the US yet.
