Might as well interpret the shape of clouds above you if you're looking to emissions certification agencies for clues on release times.
I prefer the Magic 8-Ball.

AMG E63 S ( sold )
I am getting a bit annoyed on how long my E63 S wagon is taking,( while sitting in Long beach for months )... I am tempted to start looking at something else now.

As we wait and stew...there’s a new Panamera GTS on the way second half of 2019...and this was spied too. Unclear if release is 2020 or MY2020.

Will our 2019s arrive just 6-8 months prior? Lol.

Will you be concerned when Im driving around in my MY19 E63 wagon, and youre still in your outdated 2023 BMW M8 Edition 1 Platinum? I've heard that by 2022 my wagon should be just arriving at the dealer. Late 2022.

The cosmetic differences I don’t care much about—but the new MBUX...ugh. Oh well. Always going to be something new down the pike.

Well, to be fair, it’s not like people get their cars immediately. So if the 2020 E63s are released at the end of 2019 they will probably sit at port/VPC until...when? 2023?

So as a sales manager have they given you any insight into what is really behind all these delays or staggered releases from the VPC?

A face-lifted E-Class is due in late 2020 as a 2021, and if they follow history the facelifted E63 probably won't be out in the US until the 2022 model year.

where did you get that? the information as of now is that it is a MY20 and is expected to get on the road at the end o 2019. AMG will probably come only in mid/late 2020

So glad I ordered my 2019 Cabriolet E class! Not impressed with the so called facelift for 2020.

I agree. To me, the front end (head lights and grill) looks too much like a Ford Mustang.
