It finally happened

Saw another GLC63 in the wild. We ordered ours in Sept of 18 and received it in December 18. I would have expected to have seen others in 2.5 years and just this week finally saw another on the road. Not something Range Rover or Mecan owners can say. When the lease comes up in December its a no brainer to buy it and keep it, only 24XXX miles with a buyout of $42,XXX.

This is probably my favorite all around car we have owned. We drove it to Phoenix from Seattle last October. We only stopped a few times to rest for 45 minutes at most each time. I'm 54 and had very little driving fatigue and could have kept going. Love all the driving aids, power and comfort. Wonderful little cars!

Never seen a 63 or 43 in person, and just a few 300 models in this area. Dealer only had 300 models available for test drives, and was surprised when I walked in and said I wanted to by a 63 -- now 63S since they announced the US version.

AMG GLC 63s Coupe
I see a lot of 300's and 43's here. Probably a tie between Q5s, Range Rover Sports and GLCs.

I have only seen a few of 63s and none have been lowered, probably not tuned and no Coupes so far so I feel special.....

2016 Genesis G80 5.0 - 2022 AMG GLC 63 S Coupe on order
I put my order in for a 2022 63 S Coupe on May 31st. probably won't see it until Thanksgiving! Dealer said that MB builds one coupe to every 20-25 square backs. I've been planning this purchase since November of last year. I first ordered a 2021, but when I learned the V8 would run for one more year in the 2022's, I figured I'd go for the last AMG GLC production run with the V8. Might mean something down the road in regards to possibly becoming a collectors car, particularly being the Coupe. Anyway, since the 63 came onto my radar, I have not seen one in the wild, which includes a 1500 mile trip from Florida to Maine in May. It's nice to know we 63 owners have something different and a bit exclusive.

Maybe you have seen one and don't recognize it? No one can ever figure out what mine is since it is debadged, lowered, will out run about anything on the road when I am on my Stage 2 Ethanol tune and all blacked out. People still don't believe me when I tell them it's a SUV.

Well I won't bet my life on it, but I don't think I've seen a 63 on the road, but surely there out there. I'm pretty detail oriented and would look closely if I thought I was seeing one. I know for sure I would have followed you around to figure out what that was I was looking at for sure . That's a nice looking ride. I'll be going for more of a luxury look with designo White Pearl paint, the AMG 21" multi-spoke in silver, and a Pearl White interior. I loaded it up, so it should be a beauty. I have seen a few GLE 63's on the road.

My GLE 63s was Designo White Pearl. It is a beautiful color.

I considered the GLE 63 S Coupe. Too big.

It was the best road car I have ever had, so smooth and lux without a single rattle but it was too big for me too. No comparison on the comfortable ride but I like the GLC way more even though they ride rough and rattle.

How much does the ride improve at factory height? Rattling? Ouch. I don't know how happy I'll be to pay 6 figures for rattles

It's a 30k car with a 70k motor. My Q5 is a lot smother but then again it isn't a sport SUV. I don't mind it on road trips but nothing like an E series.

A 30k car is going to rattle...

Ha, don't tell Toyota that! But I get your point. I'm sure once I start enjoying the car it will be - rattles, what rattles

I took all the junk out of my console and disconnected all my charging wires and phone holders, put my car at stock height and drove it around last night. It was surprisingly quiet and smooth, at least compared to what I am used to.

I think you will be just fine....

Thanks for the effort and the critique. Reminds me of the old days when I had cassette tapes and then later cd cases rattling around the car. They were so damn noisy lol

No problem, I wouldn't want to be worried if I had just put in the order.

No fears....I immediately slammed it back to my lowered state and threw most of the junk back in it......
