2019 C-AMG -- diamond stitch / Designo Nappa NOT available on coupe/conv variants??

According to the dealer ordering guides, the option for Designo diamond stitched Nappa leather does not appear for the coupe and convertible AMG variants (C43 and C63/S), whereas it does appear for the sedan variants.

This was true pre-facelift, and it seems to be true for 2019 models.

1) Can anyone confirm otherwise?
2) What could possibly be the reasoning behind Mercedes’ decision to deprive the coupes and convertibles of this option?

2024 X5 M60i, 2018 C63S Coupe (sold)
My guess(es) as to why:

The seats in the coupe/convertible versus sedan are different design (front seats are constructed differently, rear in the coupe seats two whereas it seats three in the sedan), so it's not like they could use the patterns for both.

Also, the coupe/convertible are built in Germany, whereas the sedan is built in the US. They probably sell fewer coupes and convertibles than sedans, so they may not have been able to justify the extra manufacturing cost.

The sedan is built in the US? Aren't ALL of the AMGs built in Germany? I thought that is the tradition of real AMGs (not 43's) - to be hand-built in Affalterbach. I could be wrong, but this is news to me... curious to hear more about this.

Still looking...
ANY designo interior options on C63S coupe?

I’m in the process of spec’ing an order for a 2019 C63S coupe and none of the leather options are very interesting.

I cant seem to get a definitive answer from any dealership: what interior designo seat options are available?

(I’d also love to know if there are any exterior designo options available that don’t appear on the basic build site.).

It’s interesting that Designo Bengal Red Nappa Leather is available in the C300 coupe but not in the AMG models (according to the order guide).

it just makes no sense at all that they would not offer Designo any-leather on the coupe.

Please keep us informed if you find out more information.
