And MCB is designed to work on European-style large flatish road bumps, not potholes or small deep road imperfections, etc., and not in the dark or in bad weather.

Here is some verbage for the new car:

Mercedes' S63 AMG 4Matic boasts a more sporting suspension set-up with conventional steel springs and Mercedes-Benz’s new ADS Plus adaptive damping system, providing continuous adjustment of the dampers in two modes: Comfort and Sport. It also receives revised geometry, with added camber and a larger anti-roll bar up front along with a stiffer sub-frame at the rear.

European S63 has MBC. Apparently it's not compatible with 4Matic. IMO above is just a way of MBUSA to up talking the ADS. I suspect MBC to be available on S63 in the upcoming years but that's just my instinct.

My GL63 has both 4 matic and ABC.

I highly doubt it.

You are correct. I confused ABC with ACS.

I don't see how a GL63 is any more of a niche vehicle than S63 AMG. Both are pricier extensions of the 550 models they're based on.
