This has become a joke. 4 years now since the S class was introduced - and no sign of S63. Announced in December and then no word for 6 months. Still no word on DOG and order banks.

not denying that. I thought Mercedes-AMG went in to some issues with the E Performance drivetrain but what I read it seems like it is working way better than the GT4D's E Performance drivetrain. That said, I don't think any driving reviews were released yet?

I think forum member js_cls spotted some on his trip, and still very heavily (or lightly?) camouflaged they are doing a lot of testing for sure.

I saw that, I was just saying I think it's still in embargo in the US or else we'd be seeing the car reviewed at all the usual sights.

Right... problem is we don't have anyone here that knows when that will be lifted and what really is going wrong, what is taking so long. How many months since reveal did the GT4D GT63 S E Performance 's embargo to be lifted? Or was it lifted yet? What about C 63 S E Performance?

Makes no sense to me. Why even unveil the S63 if it's not ready to be released? MB USA is off the rails - leadership needs to be replaced. Every year MBUSA gets worse IMO.

On some recent models they're doing way better all of a sudden. i think they;ve begun to make changes after recieving feedback, the S63 was just too quick for that. But they managed to get the EQS SUV, EQE SUV, GLE facelift, and GLC facelift launched almost as soon as cars started being built (very little VPC waiting), and the new SL43, GLA facelift, and GLB facelift already have pricing way before release and only a bit after announcement. So they're improving. Slowly.

Yup, the entire department, ie. some models are arriving at dealerships and even delivered to customers without a working online configurator then there are those trim lines forcing customers to choose what they want and not customers wants and can't choose certain standalone options as a result.

Well I mean you have a point, so that is a good thing. Although. Slowly.

To my mind, it was an old man's car. Preferred BMW Alpinas, until BMW went completely bonkers with EV tech, general reliability.

I see, I mean AMGs are dual personality, test drive one of any AMGs especially V8s and you will be impressed with a switch of a button (Sport+ to Comfort and Comfort to Sport+ etc. with or without exhaust on) the car have a completely different character, as you expect handling, ride, performance/response/acceleration all changes.

Perhaps it will come out after the press event or when US reviews drop? Whenever that embargo is till.

Noticed MercBenzKing posted the review a few hours ago, it was then taken down assuming it was a mistake and embargo has not been lifted yet, I wonder if it will be lifted soon.
