I don't get how one of the world's biggest car companies can have such a busted website that looks like it was designed when AOL was still a thing.

I just can't believe it lol. Porsche is standard IMO. The min a new car debuts you can build your own with pricing and everything. Mercedes makes you wait months and months. It's like the dumbest thing ever.

2017 AMG SL63 _ 19 AMG S65 Cpe _ 23 R8 Spyder Rwd _ 17 911 C2S _ 16 Boxster Spyder _ 01 BMW Z8 etc.
So the C63/S cars are up on MB-USA.

Whst a joke. The C63S description page and the configurator as expected are not without errors.

For example-
1) Performance exhaust standard on the 63 models (or is it standard just on the S? Anyway on the S page it says optional.)
2) Ventilated seats are available with the performance seats
Etc.

Exactly one of the reasons I switched over to a better made car.

Have you even checked Benz hud w/polarizing sunglasses?

Not yet. I'm just tired of the crappy BMW so we have an E63s on order. I added the heads so hopefully it will not hold up the order. When it gets here, I'll look for some different glasses if I have problems.

Only thing that was holding up my order was the HUD, which I wanted. Had to forgo it in order to make "trade in" workable...didn't want to go into 2019 year. However, those that have it seem to thing not having it is no big deal. Have to admit, with the new digital dash, I don't miss HUD at all....saved a few bucks as well.

Some folks love HUD; others not as much. I'm in the group you spoke of...not a real need/desire for me. I don't use it, and keep it turned off. To your point about the digital dash, I agree, it's certainly large enough and clear enough to give you quick reads on necessary info. HUD is nice for not having to take your eyes off of the road, in theory, but it's not for me. You have chosen wisely...not really worth the wait in my mind, unless you are one of the people who use it and love it.

Funny thing - I DD my C63 S and it has HUD, which I like and have gotten used to. Having the digital gauges (I don't) I can see where it wouldn't be needed or missed as much. When I drive my GTR a couple times a week. I find myself initially looking up at the windshield because I've been accustomed to that from HUD. Of course it doesn't have HUD.

I bought a brand new 2018 C63WS in November 2018. I was strongly considering a 2019. In the immortal words of Vito Corleone. I was made an offer on a 2018 I couldn't refuse.

Because I had a trade in locked into my deal. If I would have allowed my delivery to lapse in 2019, the value of my trade in would have dropped and I would have taken a hit.

On top of all that, at that time most of us were sweating the possibility of tariffs, and wanted to get our cars shipped ASAP.

I'd like to apologize to anyone out there who thought the next post in this thread was going to be the one that informed you that the 2019 e63s builder was up. I open this thread with optimism and hope every time it is updated...and every time I am let down. Now I, too, am contributing to the disappointment.

According to my dealer there are no changes for MY 2019.
Does anybody know of any changes except for the steering wheel cosmetic update?

No.

Previously, with certain trims the center console was in black finish and the rest of the trim would be different.

This is saying if you get that trim, the center console will match.

Im on the same boat, I have driven a few cars with it but it was not for me. I did not want to wait to long to get my car and I placed my order in July for a December build slot and at that time it was on back order too. Car got built on the build date and shipped and i picked it up in January. I agree if you dont wanna wait to long for your car you are better off just ordering it with out it, the digital dash is really nice.
