Trinkets or toys? Odd. I would however ask your salesperson to throw in the all-weather mats. Mine always does.

mats and key chains etc was what i was referring to. Do you get any free months of satellite radio? wifi? thats what i meant.

not sure car comes with weather mats. my mclaren dealer threw in detailing stuff, key chains, charger, 3m of satellite etc... when i grabbed my 720s.

The mats are a must IMO. As for keychains and stuff that really up to you. I think hats are cool if that's your thing.

You'll get some satellite free, can't remember term. As for WiFi, there is a trial period as well but I never bother using because it's painfully slow.

It comes with 6 months of XM Radio - go for the mats and if you don't want them sell them to me!

After paying over sticker for my G63, I still didn't get any freebies from the dealer. Not even a keychain lol

if your G comes with trail package, make sure the all weather floormats (part of the package) are in the trunk

Very nice! Just hit 1000 miles on mine (early April delivery) and immediately I punched it in S+. My advice - get to 1000 as soon as possible!!! Driving experience in S+ on a 2020 >>>>>>> any mode on my 2015.

Highly recommended to drive ONLY in comfort or economy mode the first 1000 miles. Even says it in the manual. Just a heads up.

After 1000, you will never stop smiling 😃.

if you dont rev above 4k RPM and not over 80mph, why would it matter? curious... is there a technical reason why?

I imagine it's because in sports plus the transmission holds onto gears longer and downshifts more frequently to maximize performance. That probably puts more strain on the engine. Viewed some videos on how to break in an AMG engine and they said the same. Also read the manual concerning break-in and it makes the same recommendation to stay in comfort mode for the first 1k miles. The dealership told me about the break-in period but never mentioned staying in comfort mode so I was initially unaware that was part of the process per AMG.
