That's the likely reason. Most owners will have one or more sportier cars anyway and the wagon is the family transport.

FF. W212 E63 M156 non-pano 18" P2 ParkT NightV (gone but will be missed).

Kind of a rip-off considering the cost is nearly the same for the P30 pkg.

msrp on my car for the P30 package with the wagon was 6550.00- I think my CLS with the stiffer shocks was slightly over 7000.00 so its priced within reason. Im not sure how much more the PP shocks are over the Non PP AMG shocks.

Alright, I guess it's still reasonable. I can see the $450 difference stiffens things up.
