3-Zone Climate Control Option
Is this something only available in Germany? I've looked at the UK site and they only get two zone. I have seen video's online with the rear seat passengers get a digital display to control temp/airflow.

I wondered the same thing. Really is silly that they don't have a climate control unit for the rear passengers. If you can get that in Kia's and Hyundai's, you should get in a C63...or should I say ALL countries should get it that they manufacture the car for. Wonder what the real logic is for what countries get it vs. not. Certainly not cost as the control unit can't be more than a couple hundred bucks.

I had it in my W211 and it was removed for USA for the W212 due to cost reduction.

I hear you...but if it is a cost thing, then just make it an option and for those of us that feel it is important to have can pay a little extra for it.

With options like the surround view system and now the 3 zone climate control being unavailable for MY16, i can't help but think these will be added to the next model year and called "new". It feels a bit deceptive and confusing to not have what many others have access to from the start. I'm sure there are many factors that go into what options each region gets but the bottom line is that the experience has left bad taste in my mouth so to speak. I still love the C63 and would love to own one, but i am now forced to consider alternatives which have these options standard (2016 Audi S6). More research is needed as i am not in a huge hurry to purchase another vehicle. I just like knowing i'll be making the best choice possible for my wants/needs.
