GLC63S

Since it looks like they are using a smaller version of the Panamericana grill they likely just wanted to avoid taking the spot light off the 63's.

6 seconds in you've some nice looking seats there that you could only option on the 63 before. I wonder if they'll offer them in NA market. (Not that I'd buy another 43, just curious. lol)

I'm sure it'll have the same v6 as the c43 with the same power bump. Why wouldn't they use that engine? I never understood the rumors of the hybrid 6, the glc43 is basically a copy of the c43 but suv style.

Then the GLE53 debuted and the GLC43 never showed up in NY, and there was talk on the internet about the 43 dying and possibly the GLC53 debuting so the lineup is similar to the GLE lineup.

Clearly that isn't the case though as the 43 is sticking around until the end of this generation. However, given that Mercedes is going to use the Inline 6 more, it's a real possibility that we'll see a GLC53 next generation.

GLC43

The Performance seats were available in the 2019s.

As for the front end refresh of the more aggressive bumper, I think it looks great but unsure if I prefer it over the '19. It is too close to the look of the 63.

I do like the rear end with the diffuser and the twin rounds. I may look into doing that update for my '19 if it is a direct fit.

idk on performance seat. they look awesome on pictures but when I was considering C63, tons of people complained about how uncomfortable these seats are. I remember a review on the web when a guy literally had to buy a pillow and put under his butt on a long trip because his back hurt so much. But yeah they look awesome!

Dealers already have them.

~~I have them, but too large to post here, so trying to figure out Google Docs link. PM me your email address and I'll send to you...SUV or Coupe or both?~~

Just posted the new DOGs in a new thread. ;y
