Kompressor is gone for good...
G55 TT will be available this Fall (most likely).

It is coming this year for sure,what month exactly is hard to tell (at the moment).
It will be shown in March in Geneva and dealers will get ordering info not long after.

Thanks for your help, its weird that not much coverage from websites on the car its getting a facelift a new engine and might be the last change for the car not much info AMG is doing a good job covering the news. I can put an order now with a deposit but the dealer is not sure what changes so am waiting till I know for sure.

2013 G 63 AMG
There have been several posts on this forum and articles on motoring websites with details about the 2013 model year revisions for the G-Class including tons of photos.

How do you like the carbon fiber interior trim? I love CF trims but am not sure how it suits the G interior

It will arrive in the Fall as a 2013 model. No 2012 for the US based on all the articles I have seen.

I'm more intrigued on the G 65 AMG.

I am pretty sure it was Brabus who did a V12 G Wagon. Can you imagine how much of a pain it would be to work on the engine.

I got a chuckle out of this article linked from the C&D link above, it is an "employee exit interview" for the G55- worth the read if you have time to kill.

Unhappy

Dealers already got the product info.
Updated (bumpers and interior)G550TT and G63TT are coming this Fall as 2013 models.
G65 is definitely not coming to US.

This is sad:

But this is good:
Updated (bumpers and interior)G550TT and G63TT are coming this Fall as 2013 models.


The good thing about the 65 not coming to the US is I won't have to feel bad about having a 63

AMG is old school and prefers traditional wood and leather. Hope this is still an option on the so-called G63s. Anyone know?

Why not?
It's offered in S-Class,both S63 and S65 so why not in the G?

I have carbon fiber trim in my G55, and I think it looks really good. My previous three g-wagons had wood trim of various types.
