Excerpt from the press release:
AIRSCARF neck-level heating comes as standard: warm air flows into the passenger compartment from air outlets in the head restraints and wraps around the head and neck area of the driver and front passenger like a scarf. The temperature of the seat heating for driver and front passenger can be controlled separately for seat surfaces and seat backrests. In addition, a three-stage seat ventilation system is standard.

 

my potentially sweaty back and legs and nether regions thank you very much for this piece of information!

 

I ordered a Patagonia Red SL55, black top, beige interior. Base package, added 21" forged rims, chrome package, driver assistance. Dealer showed me in their system where the first 4 that were ordered (I am number 5 in the line...) show a delivery date of March. Doubtful...I asked my guy when they would switch production to the '23 model year as I don't like taking delivery of a '22 in late summer....

^ That is consistent with what my dealer told me...first cars come off the line early January, so they will be delivered February-March, depending on where you are in the US.

 

I’m going over my build and finalizing it and it has “U69 Yellow Brake Calipers” listed. Am I missing that in the DOG? Is that the standard color or is there a way to change them? Does some package add them that I missed?
(From all the photos they look like they are standard and more of the CCB color that “yellow”)

 

I think it’s part of DY2.

 

Thanks. That’s another part I glazed over.

 

New PDF uploaded, changes since November:

03/08/2022

• Upholsteries 824 and 835 delayed until further notice.

03/01/2022

• DY2 Driver Assistance Pkg. will be required on early-production builds

 

I actually got the call early this morning. The exclusive leather is delayed and I had to select another option asap. Dealer said their first car is out of production and waiting shipping. I am #3 and start production in 2 weeks. Still no pricing.

 

Hmm. Exclusive leather at this price point would be a requirement IMO. 824 with Performance Seat (555) would be my selection...

 

I agree and I had 824 selected. I’ve always gone with the exclusive leather option and It’s disappointing that 824, 835, 701 and 711 are all delayed. I ended up going with 804 as the delay could be thru the entire rest of the year and I didn’t want to wait.

What about it? I posted the new copy yesterday and that seems to be the same.

As written elsewhere: this Crystal Silver will NOT be available (coming year) for the new SL AMG.

 

It is disappointing. I had 835 macchiato chosen but was just told it was delayed. Now I've changed to 801.

 

Strange that these Exclusive interior trims are delayed. Did see several of these options in real life in the factory last week. Maybe some quality issue?

 

This is the list from a month ago, more options since have been delayed..

 

Where is that from? I guess now we know why the Crystal White interior was missing from the order guide.

 

From my dealer (EU).

 

For the fans: here a detailed video of this Crystal White (with a black steering wheel, therefore not to be confused with Macchiato Beige):
Looks even lighter than the Crystal Grey on my current car.

 

The setup is very similar to the ivory white/black+ we had in our last SL. Very practical for dirt with the black steering wheel and black carpeted areas...

 

Curious how the Crystal White interior will look with White exterior?

 

I thought we might get pricing in early March. Have I missed it? Or what are the rumors now?
