why no Twin Turbo for 2011's?
I know there is a slight bump in HP for 2011 but in 2012 TT'S!
There are so many 63's on the lot I would think they would pop in the TT engine...thoughts?
I am thinking of the new wagon..thoughts on that?

The new engine is more efficient ,more powerful,more competitive then anything else on the market currently so one would think they would want to put that thing in new cars asap.
Argument that they don't have enough of them for anything more then the 2011 S and CL is not valid either since the allocations of these are at record low numbers.
Good luck trying to order S63 for this Fall delivery.....

I agree, furthermore it is the first year of the e63 wagon...so will it be the only year they make a normally aspirated version of it or will they hold off and not drop it in the wagon till '12...weird stuff.......

e63 2010 W212
I don't think they usually make changes that quickly. I think the 2009 was the first e63, so they don't make an engine change until 3 years later, so the 2012 version. Then the new body will be in 2015.
Right? Same thing for the 211, body stayed the same for 6 years, but engine change happens every 6 years as well, but at alternating intervals. i.e. 6.3 L engine was introduced in the W211 back in 2006. (my years may be off, I'm based it off the 2009 date).

E63 2010
You can find the answer of the TT introduction, 25% less CO2 emission with higher Hp and torque (http://www.mercedes-amg.com/#/157v8). They perform better with less fuel to meet emission regulations that are more restricting.

MB wouldn't want to disenfranchise buyers of the 2010 W212's that quickly...
Additionally, I don't think offering the TT version is going to magically increase sales. I doubt the majority of E63 buyers are "holding out" until the TT version arrives. It's just the hard core motorists.

So I stopped in at the dealer and asked about ordering one. They said not until 2012-13 because they're going to be waiting for the TT motor. They said it costs too much to get the wagon DOT and EPA approved and then have to do it again (when it has the TT), because they sell so few AMG wagons in the US.

that is awful news....My guy at my dealer told me that we could order one....I guess I will have to bust some heads over there.
But I will wait for the TT motor that is for sure!

btw, on another note, designo has really expanded now and lots more choices for interior goodies and exterior paints. Hopefully that'll make up for the stripping down done when the W212 first came out.

While I was at the MB Dealership this morning, I asked the Sales Manager about whether we could "special order" an E63 wagon. He said "no" - there is nothing in any of his materials which indicates they can order an E63 wagon right now - no pricing or information of any kind that he has access to. That is too bad as it would be a great seven seat replacement for my wife's people mover . . .
Hope that changes when the TTV8 comes out . . .Until then the CTS-V wagon will rule the roost.

But it will be available with the 5.5 TT. MBUSA has implied that it will be here then.

That's what I thought. I was told the same: https://mbworld.org/forums/4230589-post10.html

Good. That will give me a little more time to convince the wife that we need to replace her people mover (Enclave) with the E63 wagon. She drives my E63 all the time now. The Enclave never leaves the garage unless we need to take all three kids somewhere . . .
Plus it would be fun to have one with the 6.2 V8 and the other with the TTV8 - and I am an N/A engine fan by nature.
