The current (2018) dealer ordering guide shows only E63S no plain E63.

They have been nixing the non-S variant in the U.S. for awhile now, the tail end of the W212 was the same.

I guess it makes sense, why have 3 AMG models now that we have the AMG light 43's? Furtheremore, the "light" between the "plain" 63 and the 43 isn't huge, for example, they both are limited to 130. Its simpler to have the "light" and the monster and that's it. The 43's are already offering similar performance to previous full blown AMG cars.

Yeah, I think the non-S sales end up being pretty minimal for every model (when both are available). It's pretty rare to find a C63 (non-S) owner (although most of them make themselves invisible).

This is why the choice to sell only the non-S GLC63 in the U.S. makes absolutely zero sense to me.
