My 2020 G63 arrived!

Got my truck yesterday and I am in love. Full review coming - but it's a 10 out of 10. Couldnt be happier. My windshield isn't even broken yet :-) Fingers crossed.
Ordered it in Feb. Delivered in Dec (Friday the 13th!). Do hit me up for my sales agent details if near NJ. He rocks and is a big AMG enthusiast (drives one as well).

Many congrats, black/black looks so good! I'm very jealous of your black bull bar too, EU cars don't have them

Beware the windshield though, mine's 6 weeks old and picked up a full top to bottom crack right ahead of the driver on Thursday

No inventory in the UK, 3 screens in stock in the Motherland so probs fixed in early 2020

Looks great, @johnnyderm ! More pictures!

...also, review! Did you get to drive before you bought / today, or is this your first drive of the new generation?

Full review comparing my G550 2013 and GLE63 are coming in soon. I want to give it some milage for a real comparison.

But initial reaction is WOW. It drives with so much confidence. The quality is better than anything I have ever been in. Driving fast on highway and small backroads have exceeded my expectations. No, it doesnt corner like my GLE63 but it drives along like like my old rover sport. Heavy yet confident. I am very very pleased. Compared to my G550 2013 it is honestly night and day. The ride is so much improved - that I can not believe it. No longer a sacrifice to have a g class (on highways at least).

I did buy an unlimited windshield replacement plan for 60months for $1400 *(felt like a deal).

photos to come - etc! I am soooo pumped - wait was worth it.

I love analog - anyone wanting a touch screen" is out of their minds. Hit a bump and your radio volume goes to 1000% - ouch! :-)

swipe left or right>

Trunk space is Awesome! And looks, the kids love it to (twins in BIG car seats fit fine).

Its not a "unlimited" windshield replacement....its 5k lifetime cap....and the windshields cost like 3400 so you get one replacement.

I double checked, I have unlimited, no cap up to 60k miles. I was shocked it was offered. I'll scan the paper work tomorrow to triple check too.

Congrats Johnny! She’s beautiful and I love that your twins fit perfectly! My G550 will be a Dad Ride as well.

I also got the unlimited windshield but $1900 for 3 years. Guess you bargain better than I do! (Like you, I double checked the fine print was as I had never heard of unlimited replacement before).

Again, very happy for you, one of the really good guys on this forum.

The kids love it. They making a beep beep beep sound when I reverse and a vroooom once I go forward. Cracks me up every time.
They face backwards and I noticed that the rear seats are placed further back than the rear door opening, so it takes some extra muscle to get the kids in the seat. I will get a photo. But it is fine. They love the big view out the back. The space between the two seats in the G is more narrow than my GLE63 (says my wife). .

Congrats. It looks mad hot. Similar to my build. Ordered in April, still no news yet. Hopefully worth every minute of waiting. Happy & safe motoring!

Congrats! I believe I saw the sale of your car posted on Instagram by your salesman... the pics look awfully familiar.

Yes, JPBENZ posted a few photos and then Mercedes Benz AMG picked it up and reposted so it traveled quite a bit! I actually found my agent (JP) via instagram and now he's my go to for any AMG product. Good dude! Ill post more photos soon.

All right, about to set off on a 250mile drive to Vermont. Pray for my windshield! I am removing the stock 22" "no-season pirellis" and putting on Hakkapeliitta R3s on the 20" G63 amg wheels. I had them powdercoated gloss black by FAP Auto in NJ (they turned out great).

Looks great! I'm thinking about getting OEM 22" wheels powder coated in gloss black. It's such a great look.
