And the wait starts....

My first Mercedes was a 2017 C43, great car and I traded it in for a 2020 Volvo XC90 after having our kiddo. My goal was to get back into a AMG down the road. But with the news of the new model, and I love the current coupe. I am blessed to order a c63 Coupe. Should be arriving this summer!

I was finishing college when the w204 was released and have been in love with the C63 since.

Congrats. Hope all goes well. I don't wanna discourage you, but you might wanna read up of the ongoing and worsening global semi-conductor shortage. It's wreaking havoc on car productions and MB is dropping options just so they can build cars. You may wanna keep an eye on your order. There have been several reports of folks not getting options they ordered or half working options. Somebody over in the C43 section got their 2020 w/o working AMG Drive Unit. The controls are on the steering wheel, but not hooked up to anything and apparently it's not the only car like that according to an AMG Specialist.

This thought did occur to me and fingers crossed. My wife for a 2021 X5 we ordered and I was worried then too. Its just crazy to me this ripple effect, did you see GMs predictted loses due to this.
