It is still nice to have this forum to talk about it, there is no other way to know. There was a recent AMG event for dealers this week and they drove the G63, MB increased advertisement of the car through social media as well, the car is coming soon but this has been frustrating knowing that my car has been in VPC for 3 months.
I am still happy that I traded in my 2015 G63 1 year ago, would have lost 30k if I kept since value dropped and the car would have been 4 yrs old next year.
what I absolutely dread is the amount of BS they have to say. It’s always one month next month, at least in the USA they say first quarter of 2019, meaning Jan most likely. In Canada? No official release they blame all their delays on certification and blame transport Canada on being slow to release the holds. But in my head if they know for a fact that this is only going to be released in January why the f not just tell the customer I had to reschedule 2 trips because I was going on the word of my dealership. I’m beyond frustrated and not because I’m obnoxious and want my car now, but because when people set your expectations for something and you plan your life accordingly and it changes it just sucks
I totally agree with you man. If it weren’t for the G63 and the tax write off Associated for my business I would’ve pulled the plug on Mercedes Benz a long time ago. Really are pathetic showing.
Has anyone placed an order for the G63 with the exclusive interior package plus (418) and got the all black leather steering wheel (VL9)? My SA was configuring my build and said the all leather steering wheel wasn't an option with the exclusive interior package plus so I'm likely going to get the leather/dinamica steering wheel. Seems strange though and I'd prefer the all leather version.

Scroll down then select the country that you want to configure your car in and enjoy:
Thank you for the Canadian link. I've been using the German site and translating everything but this makes it a lot easier. I think the reason he said it wasn't available was because there was no box to check for it as it's the standard wheel. I definitely prefer the all leather so glad it's possible.

I'm sure that's not available on the US site due to the release date.
Crazy how much cheaper the G63 is in Canada then the US...They are selling in Canada for $167,000 in CDN dollars, $124,500 in US (if you purchased the truck in Canada with US dollars). I don’t believe the US pricing for G63 will be anywhere close to the $125 k US.

Remember you have to pay duty bringing it down to the US (however I'm not sure what the rate of duty is importing to the US), but considering every single dealer I've spoken to in the west coast has a 3-4 year wait for the G63 it would be impossible to get one. A friend who does sales at a MB dealer in BC has roughly 75 people on his waitlist for G63s waiting for someone to drop their order. They sold out faster then concert tickets in Canada.

I'm not sure how many of these people on the waitlist will actually be a buyer though. Lots of things change and there's already been people at my particular dealer passing.

This is true, I have seen the list for the most part over 20 people have given them a $2,500 (refundable) deposit, and it states what type of vehicle they will be trading and majority have a g63 already to trade or a 550 so a lot seem to be serious. Market up in Canada is very strong for these trucks as we don't get as many as the US.

Is it odd you can not add the 22" wheel in black AND the AMG Night Package? If you select the AMG N. P. you can only select 21" wheels.
I'd like to order the Night package with those 22-inch AMG cross-spoke, in black. I have them on my GLE63 (non-coupe) and love them.
Will this change for the US market?

It's really odd, but it's totally different for the US market, the total opposite.
Check the attached ordering guide, the same way we like it.

Thanks - I might be the odd ball I do not plan on getting the stitched seats. I prefer the more simple options in black or even black with the red accents. Ill opt for the comfort package separately PA9.
Well that is if I can fit car seats in the back for my twin boys... at all.

I ordered the night package with the 22 inch AMG cross spoke in black...for some reason the online construction won’t allow both. My dealer confirmed the two packages have been added to my build and I should be getting the truck in the next 2~4 weeks depending when CANADA customs realises the G63.
Hoping to get it for Christmas... not holding my breath.��

Enough room to fit the car seats in the back, not like the old one, there's enough room even when the front seats are pushed all way back.
If you're looking for a brand new 2019 G550 that is available right now, my dealer has one for sale! Pretty sure it was a deal that didn't go through. White exterior, tan interior. Send me your phone number and I can have the Sales Director at the dealership call you. Obviously, it won't last long. This just came available this afternoon. Price is below $140K.
If you're like me and hate the brush guard on the G550 and would prefer the lower bar, I just found this new part that popped up on Gwagenparts.com which converts the G550 bumper to that similar of the G63. It also allows you to convert the brush guard to the same style of the G63 (for less than $2500). https://www.gwagenparts.com/product/...mercedes-g550/
