funny im trading in my RR LWB ATB for the G63
I’m done with RR given bad quality and even worse service

“Your vehicle is still in process, there are campaigns pending that software is expected sometime this week to complete.

The fuel economy test is still to be completed, this will allow for the Green Levy tax calculations to be done. This will then allow for the vehicle to be released.”

info received from corporate. My only remaining question is how long of a process is the fuel economy test going to take. I might get an answer later, will keep you guys posted. Please remember that this is in Canada, but going by the info I have, they are both contingent to US&Can release. To my demise I actually thought the whole process and waiting game was related to emissions as I was countlessly told. But this email kind of reflects that it wasn’t due to emissions? Hmm

Just heard from Sales Manager - because of the government shutdown, my G63 ED1 will be delayed (even more than the 10 days) in being signed off for certification. As I hear more I will pass it along.

Yes there was a big problem with the cars. All the cars that were at port or the vast majority required physical change (NOT SOFTWARE) in the catalityc converters. The ones arriving at port now don’t have that issue. The issue NOW is that it took them 4 months to correct this cat problem. Now they are actually doing the EPA’s on them so expect more lies and bull **** to come because they weren’t working on emissions tests for the last 4 months. And people that say it’s a summer release or spring release **** me off it’s was supposed to be early first quarter 19 and in Canada they have been horse feeding me bull**** that I’ll have my car in November 2018 I should have honestly just not ordered this car it’s a ****ing joke, plus there’s one at the car show here like wtf ???

yes brabus Irvine California confirmed it was catalytic related physical problems. Also on the phone with a person from MB corporate that said it wasn’t all models but some that arrived before and also said that it didn’t affect the edition 1 vehicles. And also I have an email from them saying that only now they will start doing the EPA’s and emissions tests saying Friday wat the last day to install the software needed on the vehicles.

from what I hear vehicles entering now don’t have that issue, but I can’t confirm anything 100% because finding bits of information here and there are not enough for me to make a valid assessment like that. I’m just relaying what I’m hearing and I’m putring the pieces of the puzzle together the way I can. Regardless of this it won’t prompt the date to a sooner delivery but could maybe hint to why it took so long. What I’m just a upset about is that although this information is “secret” and I can understand that MB wouldn’t want to start talking about these issues, that the dealers could of at least have gotten a mere amount of info, since I did if they cared enough, not to give promise dates to people monthly if this was an issue known to them. That’s all

i feel that if you’re on this thread and waiting for one of these cars and have a lot of money locked in and waiting for months without any rational explanation isn’t categorized as first world problems but rather negative emotions towards people that have been feeding you the wrong type of information. Glad you had so much input to share on the topic

I just recently found this forum and posted for the first time. Like many have stated I have had my order in for a 19 G63 ED1 for many many months. I also received information from dealer that G63 would be released late in the year. I don’t fault local dealer as they were relaying the info they had at the time. Every time they got an update it was passed onto me. My new G is not meant to timely replace a vehicle. If it were and I was coming out of a lease etc then this delay would cause some angst and frustration so I can relate to those that are in this box. Ultimately we are a bunch of enthusiast that appreciate the design, history and capabilities of the GWagen. It’s nice to find a place where one can go and find more detail than is available from any other source. Like AMG_Ghost stated is that he was taking all of the information he was gleaning from the different posts and coming up with his conclusions. I’m doing the same as many of you are. Is this delay causing me to rethink my decision on the ED1? Not yet. Talk to me again if I am still waiting in May? In the meantime I am still sitting tight and waiting eagerly and patiently and trying to be courteous of my local dealer and the Sales Manager as they have been great throughout the process. Thanks to all of you who have given feedback and helped keep us in the loop.
