Well, last year they intentionally held back the application until they were ready to start selling '19s, I believe they waited until October to submit the paperwork (meanwhile '19s had been sitting at the VPC for months) which got processed around Thanksgiving last year. i.e. they were in NO hurry to start selling '19s last year and likely won't be this year.

E63S Wagon
I just got a nice update that I have an actual build date now:



Are all the 2020 E63s still hanging at VPC?

I talked to my dealer end of last week and there were 50 across the country all at the various VPCs. None have been released.

Mine is in the Panama Canal as we speak, on its way to the Long Beach VPC. Given that none have been released across country, I don't feel badly that mine is still in transit!

My dealer told me that only 300 2019 E63S wagons were imported to the states...anyone know if the same limit applies to the 2020's?

Not sure what the limit is but that seems high from what I have heard.

The title of this thread should be changed. There is no delay, just business as usual. All the dealers know this - if they tell you that there is a delay, then they are not being honest with you.
