Wanted to get thoughts on Arabian Grey vs China Blue. Interior thoughts? Night Package or Night Package Plus? If I get heated steering wheel it says I lose AMG buttons…what does that mean? Thanks everyone in advance.

 

Congrats on the allocation.

You can either have the AMG buttons that are the two circular dials or heated steering wheel which deletes. There's a few threads on it if you search the forum. Personally I prefer the AMG buttons having had both types.

Night package plus is really a personal decision. I don't care for the two tone look but others love it.

Arabian Gray just screams red interior. I always think yacht blue would look smooth with china blue but it is a lot of blue. Black with colored stitching would be a safe choice or maybe a shade of brown.

I almost got arabian gray for my next build but decided that flat grey color is somewhat ubiquitous, maybe down the road. China blue is unique but not sure if it would get old after awhile. Me personally I'd never drive a light blue car (see avatar).

 

Congrats! I'm doing mine like so except with black mono blocks:






Different interior as well.

Looks amazing. You are doing black roof as well? what are you doing for the interior?

 

Any view on resell ability for China Blue and Arabian Grey?

 

[QUOTE=Tomshop;8672235]This:



China Blue, South sea blue, beautiful but chained to the sales floor unless you're on Collins Ave or Rodeo Drive.

 

Arabian grey is going to be tons easier to resell. I think the only colors that may be more popular now are black and white.

 

Congrats on the allocation but just get the colour you like. Im personally going for China Blue but then again I don't care about resell value. Too many grey/white/black G-Wagens if you ask me and they offer so many cool colours.

 

[QUOTE=jamie140;8672293]Looks amazing. Which buttons do you lose if you do heated steering wheel with carbon steering wheel?

 

I don’t think any. I currently have all those with heated wheel.

 

If you opt for the heated steering wheel option, you will lose the AMG Drive Mode digital selector located at the 8-o-clock position on the steering wheel. There is a way to easily retrofit the AMG drive mode selector though...

 

I just specced and took delivery of a 2022 G63 in Arabian Grey. LOVE the color in person...in photographs, it appears a bit more washed out and lighter but in actuality, it's darker. I thought the Arabian Gray somewhat toned down the G63 vs. some of the more polarizing colors out there. I do believe it's an easier color to resell than China Blue.

 

Yep, Arabian Gray is going to be way way easier to sell than China Blue. Grays are pretty "in" right now.

 

Now I see what you mean with a better screen. I don't have any of those lower buttons.

 

what did you do for interior?

 

Im still a little over a year away for my allocation given the slow rate they're currently producing. People are probably going to think Im nuts because it doesn't really match but I like red interiors so I'll be choosing classic red with the non-massaging seats.
What about you?

 

I am going to do Black with White Stitching. Blue and Red will be a great combo.

 

What color are the standard calipers?

 

I am going with China Blue with Night Package Plus but keeping roof body color. Believe 2022 will be first year you can do this. Also black interior with white stitching. G Manufaktur Interior Plus. RG4 wheels. Carbon fiber heated steering wheel.

 

Congrats for getting the allocation. Is your dealer charging any markup for the custom build?

 

I had one in Arabian, wifes was in china blue w extended night..both trail pack

The china blue was stunning, ill try to find pics

I just got my 23 allocation, think im going dark olive, saddle, trail

That is a very good question. I have bought a lot of high priced cars (Maybachs, 63’s etc) from the dealer and told them it would be the end of our relationship if they do. I never shopped them before and never ground them down on pricing when the market was soft. The GM acknowledged all this but didn’t fully commit to forgoing a markup. They never require me to put down a deposit so won’t know for sure until I pay for the car on arrival. Given the price increases and the softening market hopefully the market will be close to or at MSRP when the truck arrives.

 

Now that you have the choice for a body color roof w extended night would you do the roof in black or keep body color?

 

on the China blue I really liked the roof black

on the Arabian, I’d pass, it looked better body color

im very tempted to order the same China blue again….it was stunning in person
