It might be a way to artificially alter demand...

Hmmm I guess the non S isn't too bad if not having the dynamic motor mounts isn't a deal breaker, and the increased in power but forgot what are the other changes.

FWIW, the 2023 G-wagen doesn't have it, wish they brought the "feature" (of not having it) over: https://mbworld.org/forums/g-class-w...tart-stop.html

I think this confirms the whole emissions reasoning. The G wagon is just a finger salute to climate activists so the start/stop there does nothing except annoy the driver.

Yep, they noted that there is a list of 6 people vying for a slot and they haven't received a single one in 6 months.

What a beauty. Great to see that yours didn't take that long. Please let me know if yours does the wobble at idle.

My engine was built by Tom Kuhnle.

I havent even gotten to drive mine, waiting on full frost PPF and tinting, set to be completed and picked up next Monday, but I will definitely chime in on the wobble issue if I feel it.

Haha, I’ll be covering the nose in blue painters tape to take it home, until my detail shop can take it for full PPF, tint and windshield….I won’t be driving it either!

I was gutsier... drove the 800 miles home without any painters tape. Or PPF. Fortunately, the only things to hit the car were mosquitoes and other bugs.

Considering the tint now. I had assumed that the "infrared reflecting glass" would be like the glass from the S-class (which is semi tinted from factory) and is on all windows. Instead, for the GT, that glass is only on the windscreen and front side windows.

Was wondering that myself..from the pictures the front windows do look like they have some tint. Didn’t notice it wasn’t on the rear side windows..

Yeah. You'll note when you get the car that the front side windows are dual pane. The rears aren't and the hatch definitely isn't.

The dealer where you are buying it does do tint. Maybe ask them? They have a good price too (I really wish I had agreed to it back then).

OK it’s official now, drove it slowly on backroads home…. Struck me as kinda quite coming from an older CLS AMG, won’t really get a feel for it until after the break in period. Did NOT notice any engine wobble, but still too new to me.

Sweet. Exactly where mine was parked too. The wobble / shake is at idle in gear. no CEL for me but I'll take it in. My SA thinks it might be the mounts not activating fast enough.

For the folks still looking for an allocation for the GT63S, just heard that my dealer is getting a unit tomorrow that is a "special edition order" with the color AMG Green Hell Magno. Has the "MANUFAKTUR Exclusive Edition". Build sheet and pics attached. If interested, contact Gayle Sedlak at 480.447.3906 or gsedlak@mbgilbert.com. She was amazing throughout my custom order process and I will be buying my future MB products from her.

Cool, thanks for sharing!
That was in the Canada order guide, but I guess they decided to bring some to the US too.

Thank you ! This is Diamond white. Really cannot wait to see what it looks like when they do the frost PPF and it's a Matte Diamond White.

Hey guys so just went to check out my car at the PPF spot. The PPF is coming out super nice. But I noticed a few things I thought I would share. Mainly bc this is the second time I see a 23 come in missing an Inter cooler plastic cover. I didn’t have my phone on me at the shop unfortunately so I couldn’t snap any photos. But I’m addition to that one of my wheels where the amg tab is, is completely black seems like there should be a chromed placard there or it’s finished incorrectly. I’ll get some pics tomorrow as I’m supposed to be taking actual delivery tomorrow. Cars been paid for since 4/26.
