I don't think this has been posted anywhere else, so I thought I would post it here. Thought some of you might like to see it.

thanks, stream!! good stuff there!!

i think that edition 130 s63 with the alubeam paint has your name all over it!!

Streamliner

Well, I'm just not an AMG guy. I don't need or want the extra horsepower or the stiffer suspension. With the lack of attractive colors for the Cabriolet, both inside and out, I think the new SL will be more my speed.

I like! No 4matic on the 550 though?

any idea when we can order the convertible?

Awesome. Thanks for sharing.

I know of an S63 convertible that's already been produced and is at port awaiting shipment to the states. Southern region...

Streamliner

Well today, within one hour, I sold my '2004 SL500 and my 2010 E350 Sedan, to two, separate, private buyers. Sooooooo, thinking more seriously about the new SL, but am waiting to see the new S550 Cab in person.

The US order books are open.
I just placed a EDP* S63 Cabrio order for August Delivery.

*no EDP discount on S63.

Does anyone know if the hi end burmester has the subwoofer in the left side of the truck like the sedan and coupe? It destroys the trunk for capacity.

Streamliner

I certainly don't know, but with convertibles, trunk space is, if anything, usually less than in a coupe. In addition, convertibles usually have additional bracing for structural rigidity, so if anything, there are probably fewer places to put things like subwoofers, refrigerators, etc. I would bet, big time, that it's in the trunk, like in the coupe and that the trunk, overall, is smaller than in the coupe.

I just checked the German price list. It says that it is trunk mounted and takes up about 1.1 cubic feet (30 liters). It does not say where in the trunk it is mounted.
The Coupe has about 14.1 Cubic feet (400L) of trunk space vs. the Cabrio's 12.3 Cubic feet (350L) of trunk space.

Ordering the convertible 3 weeks ago with everything except the hi end stereo.
Don't have a build date yet. Thank you for the info in the stereo.

BillyD

You're very welcome. The German MB site & price list provide a lot of useful information.
I have a build date of 10-20 June.

To those who have ordered, where did you land price wise on the S63 cabriolet? Msrp or otherwise?

I am both happy and angered to have found this thread, my dealer has had a deposit from me for a "1st" position order slot since the vehicle was announced and has not contacted to move forward. Any sales associates hungrier?

BillyD

The order books for the S Cabs have been open for over a month. If your sales guy hasn't given you a PO number yet, then you probably didn't get the "1" order position. Suggest you demand either a PO number and a print out of the order and build date. Otherwise get you deposit back and move on. Just my POV.

Any idea when the order books open for the S63 Coupe ? Dealer is holding a tentative deposit but last time we spoke (a few weeks ago) there were still no build slots open for MY17.

BillyD

I don't see why your dealer can't place an order for a '17 S63 Coupe. There are still many '16 S63 Coupes around. Have you thought to ask your dealer to find one of these for you?

Heisenberg

I could and there perhaps might still be a MY16 build slot available. I guess the order book is not yet open for the MY17 coupe, only the cabriolet which is arriving first apparently. He has my CC# on file but has not charged yet, since he cannot reserve the car to this point in time.

My CLS63-S is leased through mid-November so I have time, figured I might as well get a MY17. I don't expect much change - from the S Cabriolet DOG, there seems to be a new P60 Exterior Night Styling Package and some upholstery changes, a new Porcelain/Deep Sea Blue and Crystal Grey is now paired with Seashell Grey instead of black on the AMG models. I'm hoping the latter will be specific to the cabriolet though as I am wanting the Crystal Grey / Black.

For anyone interested, the S63/s65 Coupe forum has been modified to include the S63/S65 Convertibles.

You mean this s-cab?

How come the S65 cab only has airmatic but not MBC or ABC?
