My dealer has 3 unsold '19 G550's in stock. Everyone wants G63 and that is THE G SUV to have.

Mine should be here in 4+ weeks--depends. Was at my dealer today he said G63's will be released this month and many are already sitting in regional warehouses awaiting release.

Wait for G63--550 is meh to me. I drove new one today and was happy to check out interior differences, but the engine is too weak for my tastes.

Also FYI my dealer has orders out to mid next year on G63. Sold out. You want a G550 you probably can already get a discount.

It’s not a sports car, after all. It is highly capable all-terrain truck with a low range and three differential locks. Off-road tires are the first item on my shopping list. I didn’t get a G to drive around in the city, so not quite everyone...

Enjoy it. It certainly wasn't for me--but I like fast cars and SUV's. G63 is a fun on and off road toy.

The demand is on G63's because that is obviously what most people want. G550s are sitting on the lot unsold...not good.

Glad you found what works for you. Cheers.

Not true, most people don't want the G63, the motor (HP & Torque) are the best balanced on the G550, the G63 (and perhaps the G65 if they see people will really want to be out-of-balance) is just a way to charge more money bro. And the reason the G550s are available now, is because......wait for it.....the G550 is all that is available now. Eventually, the G550 and the G63 will be plentiful.

You want something fast, get something that is made for speed (the Gwag is not). Try the McLaren 570 (either S or GT) or the Ferrari 488 or Lusso if you want back seats. Or a Lambo, that will get you raw power and a lot more looks then a G63.

Okay whatever makes you feel good.

And thanks on car suggestions...my 19GT3RS shows at dealer next week and Performante is on order for April delivery.

G63 is neither it's just an SUV--but a heck of a lot more fun one than 550 LOL.

Listen enjoy your 550's. Your money your decision. To each their own. My money is on G63.

Well you are right about one thing, the Gwag is a vehicle that is a female car. And why it will be for my daughter for Christmas.

I couldn't have her driving a 550 though.

Cheers.

He says they have allocations for about 10-12. He also said that the amount allocated to dealerships is based on the number of 2018 G63's they sold, so it is essentially "sell more 18's and get more 19's"

Maybe you do have a shot July after all. My dealer didn’t have any ‘19 G63 allocations, but he still had a couple of unsold ‘18 G63s when I was shopping this summer.

That’s very interesting, I didn’t realize anyone on the face of this Earth still thinks there are cars that are exclusively male and female cars. Will your daughter only be allowed to drive on Sundays with a male chaperone present? Hopefully, you wife will put her name on the title to spare you the shame.

Anyway, my kids laugh at old guys who drive glorified Volkswagens. They tend to think Prius’ are much more masculine. I guess it’s all a matter of to each his own.

Hopefully, your daughter will enjoy her G Class.

Well if I were concerned about what you think or millennial I'd be in trouble--you're not important enough for me to care. You are just a guy on the internet like me.

My daughter will love her G-Wagon. Gift for working hard to get into law school.

Take care and enjoy your Prius.

Of course there are vehicles that are commonly known for gender biased. As Fletch says, "Maybe you need a refresher course":

Male Vehicles
RR Phantom
RR Cullinan
Porsche 911 Turbo S and GT2
Any McLaren
Any Two-wheel drive Lamborghini
Audi's flagship sedan
Mercedes Maybach
Ferrari 458, 488, FF, Lusso, F12, 812

Female Vehicles
Ferrari California
Any Range Rover
Bentley Bentayga
Pretty much any convertible (except the RR Dawn)

Exclusively Female Vehicles
G63
Porsche GT3
Lambo Huracan Performante

hahaha.....owned

He's always like this. Likes to brag and remind everyone how many 200K+ cars he's owned or has on order. Been banned from another forum. Always abrasive and obnoxious and certainly not short on arrogance. Needs to prove something I guess. Just ignore him.

I have a G63, so I guess I should trade it since I'm not a female? Cheers.

Hey Guys, I was only kidding, I put G63 on the female list because I was just f***ing with the arrogant lawyer (he's getting one). I think both the G550 and the G63 are super cool and ALL MAN!

+1 Picked up G550 last Tuesday it's awesome. It's as fast as I want to go in a brick. I have a car that according to Auto rags does 0-60 - in 2.5 (no batteries) so I like speed. A few years ago I had to replace the pipes on my buddy's 63 that I damaged off road, you would't believe what that cost me. G550, with the sport exhaust G550 sounds fantastic actually even in comfort vs sport mode (not sure yet if there is a difference) G550 will be faster because you will need to refuel 63 every few miles LOL
