Edition 55?

Has this been discussed or talked about and I just missed it? Has anyone seen one of these? I did a quick search and didn’t see anything.

I will say that emblem on the side is hideous!

I get a kick how they create this "exclusivity" and watch the mice scramble to order... to each their own

Why would anyone want to 'rice it up' after taking ownership when you can purchase it 'pre-riced'. The decals are hideous I concur. Nothing like destroying the aesthetics and appearance of a luxury suv

Why use a small, tasteful badge to do something you can accomplish with tacky LOOK-AT-ME! graphics?

What about that single option at $20k. If you add all that stuff does it get to that sticker price? I do like the wheels, but still would have to have a V8 at that price point.

We had one for a short time, it was not an ordered car but sold within a couple days.

I will say, the matte carbon interior and unique wheels were gorgeous but I'm with most, I absolutely hated the side decal.

It's a 36k option on the 63. I think something like 200 cars built, half 63 and half 53, half coupe half SUV. Never orderable, so all 63s are identicle and all 53s are identicle, dealerships simply got allocated them. The added features definitley do not add up to the price, you're paying at least 10k just for the exclusivity.

Cladding looks good. Bodyside decal looks terrible, as they also look terrible on Porsches.
