Interesting with latest gen MB models and AMGs that they seem to be getting rid of any wood steering wheel option, CF or leather only

 

Ya, you don't say

 

In fact when we went in to configure my order, the power rear seats are now included. I too wanted to add heated rear seats, but in fact heated/ventilated/massage are standard.

 

I'm going to be ordering one of these, but I will say...

I sorely miss the S65.

 

Any update on allocations for the S63?

 

Not yet. I would think we get initial allocation next month

 

Thank you

 

1000 extra lbs (450 Kg) comes as a standard feature on the new AMG S-Class

 

Any update on allocations for the S63?

 

Nothing yet

 

Thank you for update

 

My dealer informed me last week that my order will be built in March and will be first one from their store.

 

Hopefully that happens. If it's going to be built in March then shouldn't the allocations be out or coming out really soon?

 

Looks like some stores have 1 allocated car

 

Don’t laugh at me please but after swearing not to buy the new S63 because of it’s piggly weight, I decided to tuck my tail between my legs and go back to my dealer with my hat in hand.
Was supposed to pick up the Sapphire and did not go through with it.
First, they do not take trades (I really don’t want to market my B7 on my own), then they refused to sell me any rims which are a must for me in Chicago, a daily driver MUST have Winter tires.
Their tech also admitted to a complete lack of any parts, any problem, fender bender, cracked wheel, etc would mean the car parked for a long, long time.
My MB dealer put my name on the first S63 they get………..

 

Thank you for the update. My understanding is that it's a non changeable allocation. I wonder if changeable allocations will be given starting April.

 

They are coded green, which means they should be changeable.

 

That’s what I was also told.
Late Spring production and will be available to spec, hopefully sooner then later and without the restrictions every time a new model is introduced (some options not available)

 

thank you for that. I was told the opposite by the dealer.

 

I've been talking to two different dealers. Today one is saying they can get a changeable spec that will be made in april for over msrp. Another one is telling me they can get one for msrp sometime in the summer.

I feel like 20k over msrp doesn't make sense when they haven't even announced the msrp. But I bought my g64 4x4 squared over msrp and then had it bought back. They then let me reorder and msrp so who knows.

 

20k over MSRP seems steep but with S63 it's again an issue of supply and demand. One thing to consider is that even if you pay over MSRP for April build - MBUSA may not release the car as it's built. You may be looking at a summer release anyway.

 

I just realized, the trial prodiction cars/press cars are technically 2023s (iirc correctly the press cars were vins 183XXX, so maybe November 2022 production), which means those cars wont have an official model year in the US and won't be sellable. Huh.

 

Hmm, no CCB's offered in the new S63. Perhaps due to the hybrid tech?

 

Seems like it's the case in the US. There are many in Europe with CCB.

 

I would think that with performance hybrid tech that the CCBs would be required. Other performance car manufacturers require CCBs with their new performance hybrid tech due to power and torque output. However, in the US it appears they are limiting the speed to 155 mph without CCBs vs Europe with CCBs at 180mph. This heavy car ABSOLUTELY NEEDS CCBs. This is just unacceptable to offer this car without CCBs. The only two things I did not get on my 2019 S63 were the CCBs and the "Magic" solar type sky roof. I wished I had the CCBs as my S63 eats brakes for lunch with a total brake job at a dealer costing $7k. I have already spent $20k for brake pads/rotors at 50k miles on my 2019 S63.
