They tried to do overthink it way too much not having that

It’s amazing

[@user-wq9mw2xz3j]

soon we'll have gesture in the air or voice command only.

[@poreyndyerpinoy]

While the touch button is impressive, it would still be best if you have the button option. What happen if the touch button stop functioning and you want to bring back the roof?

[@christopherjiang4007]

There is a physical button, just keep pressing the rooftop button under the screen.

[@PetrolBeast]

The SL was never intended as a 911 rival. It stands in a class of it’s own 👌

[@autogefuehl]

Until now. Check out the review full length and see for yourself!

[@luckyspetfriends5588]

Agreed. I am a 100% Mercedes-Benz guy, lifetime fan, driver, collector to very basic and never liked Porsche, nor BMW. There are a few older models that are nice, but I don't think I would never cheat on Mercedes-Benz.

[@ICEMANZIDANE]

@@autogefuehl what he means is that the Sl is above the 911, no matter if the current SL is sporty or not. Btw, the digital buttons on the wheel, werent they firstly used in a Merc car? I also dont really got your comprison with 911. the SL was and is something special no matter how the car is set up.

[@autogefuehl]

The Mercedes SL was unique yes. But they have left the segment where the car was in

[@benebu8494]

@@autogefuehl they actually returned to it's heritage from back in the days. Awesome car!

[@matar0]

I think the sound you heard was a safety measure from the sound system. The car thought you were going to crash and to reduce hearing damage (loud crash) it plays a sound which causes the insides of the ear to contract. Because of the contraction it lets less sound in and reduces the possibility of getting deaf.

[@autogefuehl]

that could very well be, I heard of that feature. Obviously the car thinks that when stuff like that is done with the car, it crashes =)

[@matar0]

[@jonathanbush1936]

Thanks Thomas. A great review of a beautiful car. I haven’t been a big fan of more recent Mercedes designs, but this one looks instantly iconic. And you know you’re not on the German autobahn when you see a pickup truck in the side view mirror!

[@autogefuehl]

😁

[@61OC]

16:40 pre-safe sound

[@Classicman.43]

When you peeled out of the parking lot and heard that noise, that's Presafe Sound!!! It activates to protect your ears from the sound of impact when crashing if the vehicle thinks it's about to get into an accident; super cool.

[@James_H1]

Can’t stop watching your car reviews Thomas.You made my last week so special! Thanks Autogefühl

[@lukasvilanovic4868]

That sound you heard is because it protect your ear drums. When the car thinks it will go into a accident,that sound is produced in case of a crash and helping you not to loose hearing after. Something like noise cancellation in case of accident.

[@kramerzoid]

Great review as always. Love the way things are honestly explained and tested. There are a lot of channels on car reviews but none like this. Congratulations. The car in this video also helps. It`s amazing. A big evolution on the SL.

[@autogefuehl]

Highly appreciated! Please recommend 🤗

[@LawrenceMarkFearon]

Very good review. I feel like your honesty came through regardless of the effort flying thousands of miles coming to LA. One of the few reviewers with a solid working experience driving every generation SL. So your impression matters to actual SL drivers. Thomas and crew are always FIRST online and worldwide. Danke shön mein Herren.

[@autogefuehl]

Thanks please recommend 😎

[@mchockney3664]

Thank you for that final verdict! Even if they ultimately had to change direction to bring the non-existing sales up again, this has become just another AMG. The SL had been in a class of it`s own as an elegant cross-continent land-yacht, with the added 365 day practicability of the hardtop and a proper boot. And also, to this day I haven't come across a digital tochscreen solution in a car, that would be more ergonomical and user-friendly than a simple dial or button to push.

[@autogefuehl]

👌

[@pricklypear6228]

That’s strange sound was a pre collision safety system. It’s play that noise from the audio system before you will be crash the car. It’s will be make you hear blind before actual crash and when will be happening that it’s doesn’t bother the crash sounds that match. Basically this system protect your hearing and leveling out the crash sounds and noises.

[@ArkadiaII]

Oh my god! you activated the "You're about to crash", white noise, ear preparation noise from the Pre-Safe package! I've never heard it before. you must have done quite a launch!

[@TheFadingTheory]

Not sure what you are speaking of “the windows don”t go up” when operating the SL top? I have an SL (R231) and the windows go up and down with the top, or separately with the remote, or inside. Do you mean on the 2022 version they no longer do it? I am in the USA as well. Also you don’t have to point the remote, or get that close to the car for the remote to work. I have operated the remote while it was still in my pocket and not as close as you keep getting. FYI

[@autogefuehl]

Mercedes said the US version wont raise windows automatically with the roof function for regulative reasons…

[@P.Galore]

Very disappointed in this new SL....Was hoping they would go simpler, no screens, minimal crap on the dash, basic cloth top and available with a 6 cylinder 300hp without the AMG boy racer adds.

[@johnhyoutube]

" ... but it's not a Mercedes SL" the car summed up in just a few words, well said Thomas! Am I the only one that thinks AMG is over dominating Mercedes these days? Let's hope the smaller engined variants bring back some of the elegance which this AMG has lost.

[@hayashishark7378]

Well, few points: 1. Elegance does not sell, at least according to the OEMs, so they do this aggressive nonsense. Smaller engines won't bring elegance but cheapness instead because that's how germans do things. 2. The SL stands for Sport and Leicht, which is what 300SL actually was. None of the other SLs were that though. Some of them were good cruisers but lazy and too heavy. Only one true production SL actually exists and then the brand shifted towards old mans sofa somehow. At least first few generations were cool but not anymore. I agree that Mercedes is too obsessed with AMG but bringing the SL to the AMG was the right decision and they should have done that decades ago.

[@sorenklausbo5685]

Thanks for another great, and most of all, honest revue. As a big fan of r107 models, I agree with your verdict. But I also respect the opinion of it to be more sporty like its roots with the 300SL. I guess it is a matter of what type of car you prefer really. Personally I had hoped for more Mercedes-Benz Classic, and less AMG. Not all Mercedes-Benz have to be aggressive looking. Don't forget elegance!

[@autogefuehl]

Thanks soren!

[@ImmediateWalter]

The noise you heard at 16:35 is a white noise to close/contract your eardrums so that airbag deployment doesn't hurt them. Mercedes calls it "PRESAFE Sound".

[@autogefuehl]

Yep!

[@PC-iv5so]

Nice car.. am I the only finding it odd the row buttons and door button panels move when you push them? I'm assuming a little give helps relieve pressure. but it comes off very cheap to see the whole panel moving with light touch.

[@cykablyat5561]

Mercedes hat mich nie sonderlich interessiert aber das ist ein bildhübsches Auto. Man stelle sich dieses design in einem SLC vor. Ein bezahlbarer Traumwagen.

[@masterrazvan]

Hi, I've never seen a new and impressive 2021 adventure and I love the new 2022 adventures the new Mercedes AMG SL 63 test drive in California was really cool!

[@dash-ryan]

An updated AMG GT roadster with an SL badge slapped on it, and not delivering enough that is expected from either model. Given this compromise, it's priced too high and will probably be a dud for Mercedes, especially since you can buy a used S-Class cabriolet if you want a top-down cruiser or a used AMG GTC roadster if you want a top-down bruiser.

[@devilxelloss]

16:55 That’s probably the pre-collision noise from the speakers. It’s a safety feature to condition your ears for loud collision noise when the car thinks you are about to crash. My E63s AMG also did that when I was in a performance driving class and doing sharp turn then emergency brake practices.

[@autogefuehl]

yeah indeed!

not sure about this car "replacing the S-Class cabriolet", they are actually completely different otherwise as always one of the best reviews out there from Thomas!

[@autogefuehl]

Yes indeed, it is also way different than the outgoing SL that’s what I’m saying is that they are canceling basically three models and put one model instead

[@ahemgee9542]

It's replaced it in that the S Class Cabrio has been replaced, so this is the only luxury cabriolet they have now.

Looks so much better with the black optics package 👌

[@iCoolaxe]

Honestly, I'm very surprised the SL hasn't been discontinued.

[@alpher3512]

Well it replaces the GT Roadster and S-Class Cabriolet at the same time. Clearly it isn't as sporty and also not as luxurious as the others but it's still a good (looking) derivative. Competition is now 911, BMW 8-Series and Lexus LS 500 Cabriolets. Not Bentley and Rolls-Royce anymore. The GT competitor has always been the 911 maybe even the R8/Huracan

[@garysandiego]

Informative! Also it’s pretty clear I’m not the sort that would like this car. I’m more for cruising.

[@yes8032]

Stylish SL glad to see the icon back

[@puttyputty123]

Nice vehicle, but it seems to cater to the American market where there were complaints about the SLs handling and looks (oddly enough). I rather prefer the previous generations that were comfortable with some sporting elements. It makes so much more sense to me. I don't understand why so many reviewers only value cars for their sporting handling, exhaust note and 0-100 km/h time when there so many other good experiences to be had with vehicles like these. Thank goodness for Autogefuhl. Also in these expensive vehicles please add functional physical buttons for certain things like for climate controls and raise/lowering cabs, it is just more practical and we are all physical beings that like to hear a satisifying click or feel the push of a button. I think this looks like a really cool car, just not the direction I like the SL to take. Anyway, thanks again for the great content from Thomas and crew!

Thank you for telling me what pan-americana really meant. I didn’t know it had a certain meaning other than vertical line grill.

[@nigel.w]

Thank you. Very good review. The first reviewer of the new 'SL' that knows what he's talking about. It's not a replacement for the previous SL. It's a replacement for the AMG GT Roadster and the S Class Cabrio. SL customers have been completely abandoned. This is in a new price segment. No metal/composite roof. Uselss rear seats. Too aggressive, etc. If SL buyers had wanted a car with four seats and a fabric roof, they previously had plenty of choice (C, E, and S convertibles). If they had wanted a two seater with a fabric roof, they could have chosen an AMG GT Roadster. And remember, people still chose an SL 63 or 65 AMG over the AMG GT Roadster. I also agree that it's now more of a 911 competitor. I even think the rear end has 911 styling elements. Personally, I'd now be more likely to buy a 911 than this new generation 'SL'. Thee downside of the 911 is how relatively common they are. The upside is, I think the 992 generation 911 is more classy than this new 'SL'. I doubt that Mercedes has unknowingly abandoned existing SL owners, but has repositioned the model to appeal to a totally different buyer. Based on the price alone, it has abandoned those who previously bought the SL 400/450 and 500/550. Personally, I am sad to see the old SL formula die. And as far as this car being lighter weight, it is in fact significantly heavier. Is the soft-top lighter than the old hard-top?

[@autogefuehl]

Thanks for the feedback 👌

[@autogefuehl]

Yes indeed weight savings with soft top

[@nigel.w]

@@autogefuehl Surprising (to me), especiially given the added real estate needing to be covered. Have you by any chance got the weight figures for the old magnesium top vs the new fabric top? The new car is even less super lightweight despite the fabric top, but it is a four-seater, so there's a significant weight addition. I would also think that a carbon roof would have been lighter weight. Then again, I think the move to a soft top has more to do with the change to four seats, rather than to lessen the weight and lower the centre of gravity. Thanks anyway. Great channel.

[@steverogers9453]

@@nigel.w I never owned an SL before or a Mercedes for that matter. But the SL looks really gorgeous. I love the exterior/interior design. With that said, I don't think I will be buying it, because it's not a 2 seater. I really hate that the new model has 2 + 2 seats in the car. That's a deal breaker for me. I'm wondering did Mercedes go 2 + 2 seats, due to 2 seater cars (in general) aren't selling well? At least, I've heard somewhere that 2 seater cars aren't selling well.

[@petejr7583]

Thanks Thomas, always informative and entertaining! It’s a beautiful cabrio - mixing the best of the 3 vehicles it replaces, except for the missing switches with only a few flimsy haptic? ones that made the cut. The steering wheel is also a step back from say the AMG wheel in my GLC 43, though it looks good. Overall, only a mix of existing Merc designs and parts, which isn’t bad; just expected something a bit more adventurous with this release. Still we should be happy that the glorious AMG V8 lives a few more years. 😀👏

[@autogefuehl]

Best greetings Pete

[@SDav21]

At 16:58 the sound you heard was PreSafe Sound. It plays a pink noise through the system to activate the reflex of the stapedeus muscle in the ear. In the event of a crash (which is loud and can cause temporary ringing in the ears after the crash and therefore disorientation), this protects your ear from the loud bang. It is an extension of PreSafe.

911 is not going to be killed - it is a legend (and I am not fan of it). But this is really really great car. It has lost some of SL character (comfy grand touring specially) but that will probably save the SL sub-brand. Times are changing. Great review.

As a former SL Klass owner (R129-R230) i really don't understand the need to make it chasing a Porsche 911 even in the design. SL Klass should be the Mercedes flagship of elegance and confort.

What is an SL? A sporting car or a luxury cruiser? Way back in the day it was "sports light" nowadays it's a classy cruiser. And as the S-class coupe/cabriolet have gone and the AMG GT will return should SL not have remained a luxury cruiser placed above the E class?

[@joetacchino4470]

Those juddering wiper blades are driving me NUTS. Also, I feel like this car is a little too hard. I agree with Thomas. Not a real SL. Too much of a sports car. Even in comfort it looks stiff.

[@LuckyLuciano2908]

Brave to reposition this as a 911 competitor, but it is appealing design wise. But some things are getting ridicilous... its much more effort to go into a menu, then use a slider to adjust the display tilt, instead of just using your hands to regulate the angle by moving the display. Now you have an additional electric motor and need more time... so unsurprising this weighs 2 tons

16:40 A few years ago, Mercedes announced a new safety feature. The car make loud noise using speakers just before collision to make your ears ready for the noisy crash.

Nicest looking cabriolet now and very sleek for sure, but the 911 brand is untouchable. The cabriolet variant alone sells equal numbers in AMG sedans.

[@ralph332]

Agree with comparisons to Porsche 911. That's the market they are going for. Most people are buying suvs doing city driving. If you want a convertible with lots of hp you have to pay. Mercedes is smart to stay with their roots. Just look at the 911. There is no question when you see one. For the interior, its another step back. It's unergonomic and not driver friendly. You can't use hey mercedes with the top down, or see the screen on a sunny day. It was clearly not made by someone who was a driving enthusiast. If I had to decide between 911 or AMG... sorry Mercedes.
