(USA) GLC43 SUV AMG seats, where did they go?

I've been looking at a GLC43 AMG SUV since its announcement last year and found a number of reviews and online videos. In several, the interior clearly shows AMG sport bucket seats. I went online to MBusa.com to configure a GLC43 SUV to replace our C350 sport and couldn't find the option for AMG sport seats. So I thought, well this might one of those situations where only the dealer can order a particular option, so this past Friday I went to one of our premier MB dealers for a test ride and do a sample configuration. No AMG sport bucket seats. Yes there are "Sport seats" but not the AMG buckets such as can be found in the GLA45. I'm guessing between the announcement last year and several sample vehicles being produced, with the production build out there was a change, but dang on it, those seats one of the most desirable aspects of this sport SUV! Any insights are much appreciated!

After seeing this thread, I looked at my seats and although I really really like them, I wish MB would have spent a few extra bucks to stick the AMG logo on the front seats.
