2021 GLE AMG 63s questions

I have an order in - but looking to find out the following:
- Are there fog lamps
- where is the gear shift located - in the center console or mounted on steering column
Thanks
J

The MB site doesn't show fog lamps for a US spec vehicle. I would be surprised if the shift lever was not on the steering column. The shift lever for the W166 GLE63s was on the column, same as the W166 GLE350. I am guessing the V167 follows the same precedent.

Any thoughts on colors - Iridium vs Designo Diamond White?

I'm not a white car person. Lots of people are, though.

The non-white "whites" like Designo Diamond White can be hard to match or touch up, if/when needed.

Thanks so much - have had a number of these cars - from Alpine Blue Mist to Dark Blue with light grey interior (my favorite combination) to Diamond white with porcelain and black and now have an order in for a iridium silver with the macchiato.

Switches the rear fog light on/off
No front Fog Light. That bottom area is the air intake.
