[@timeslowingdown]

​@@adilou9633 Most of the hate I've seen for new Mercedes cars is for two specific reasons: 1. The move to hybrid powertrains with smaller ice engines combined with a battery pack and electric motors. In particular this is mainly a complaint with the new C 63, because the car no longer sounds as good and it also increases the weight, and potentially complexity of future repairs. But as you can see, even this GT is heavier than the old generation despite not turning into a hybrid yet. The increased weight means the car is less exciting to drive on a track or "fun" roads. And same with the sound, the issue is that it's less exciting to drive because the new sound from the smaller engine isn't as exciting. 2. The loss of physical buttons on the interior with everything switching to ipad in the center of the car. Many people prefer the feeling of pressing a physical button, and there's also the whole "don't fix what isn't broken" philosophy. You don't have to agree with their reasons, because these are subjective preferences of course, but it's not "for no reason"

[@adilou9633]

@timeslowingdown hybrid is forced to do it because of the new regulations of the European Union, I agree with you about the c63, in terms of the interior I see a lot of KZbinrs don't complain about Tesla using all things in a screen, all say it's good and minimalist but with Mercedes they complain

[@timeslowingdown]

The GT-55 is a better deal though, unless you want bragging rights, or really want the extra .7 +/-

[@EggWafflehea]

Whenever auto maker try to share chassis with different models I feel like buyers are getting ripped off cause that makes it cheaper for them to produce.

[@CarswithMiles]

Definitely a cost saving benefit for AMG

[@chiefdenis]

Usually, that wouldn't be much of a problem It's okay to try to minimize production costs, because when the company makes more profit on a product they're encouraged to stick with that product line, but where it becomes a problem is when they're replacing an exceptional proven platform with another platform that compromises the essence of the car, It's just not right.

[@clay_jay22]

Not one person I know who has the first gen AMG wants to switch to this. It’s too Heavy. Weighs as much as a Panamera. Nobody wants that massive screen. We want buttons. We all wanted a more raw car. Don’t get me wrong. It’s a great car, but not many people will buy it. It’s an SL in coupe form. Thats all it is. Too expensive. Many better options in that price range. Even if it was already at depreciation prices, I wouldn’t trade my GTS for it.

[@Hi-how-are-you-today.]

I read the thumbnail ‘ruined’ like Stewie 😂

[@ElegantDY]

Many people don't realize that while all these new cars like BMW and Mercedes are heavier, and they don't feel heavy when driving. Is true because these cars use stronger chassis and advanced technology to mask their weight, making them seem even better than lighter, older models. However, the weight still affects the tires and brakes. Some might argue that newer brake and tire technology solves this issue, but imagine if we put the same advanced brakes and tires on lighter cars-they would perform even better. Additionally, the extra weight on the brakes and tires causes them to wear out and overheat much faster compared to lighter cars. These modern cars can mask their weight to drivers who don't push them to their limits, creating an illusion of superior performance compared to lighter cars. But this is actually a false impression.

[@andreanderson5365]

[@Fyrir.]

[@jpracing893]

AMG have gone backwards, the outgoing GT series was one of the first cars to actually take it to Porsche and the 911 and even win in some cases, with the new GT they've gone backwards. All I can hope is they're going to expand the GT Line up, with the GT63 Coupe + 2 being more like the Turbo S and they release a RWD, lighter shorter GT like the old. I feel the GT63 is massively underpowered (Yes 585hp is a lot) but the old GTC had 550 and is actually quicker than the new GT. It should've been the GT55 having 585hp and the GT63 having 635hp, maybe a later date a GT63s with 650hp - Very very underwhelming generation.

[@arcstar000]

Design is nice af but as someone else said, would take a vantage over this. Just pulled the trigger on a f pace svr recently and tbh id take even that over this. The lack of buttons on the inside is the WORST. Even having a static screen for climate on the gv70 was horrible, so much more difficult to press a button on a screen while driivng vs a hard tactile button.

[@Johndl1988]

The door handle works all the time. You just have to gently rub that’s all. Not as fast as you were doing it. You can’t rush perfection bro.

[@vicking2364]

I don't like how the numbers on the name don't coincide with the engine size. Infiniti has been doing the same thing. If it's called a g63, it should have a 6.3L engine. Of course that kind of size isn't needed anymore so just give it the same name as the last gen

[@timothykresko1984]

The corvette lines are pitiful compared to this IMO. You can’t but a Turbo S for anywhere near MSRP😂

Very beautiful, to my eye. Way too heavy! That's the main reason the 911 Turbo crushes it in most measures.

[@anonymoushuman8962]

It’s obnoxious imo. I have driven one at an AMG event. It’s absolutely huge. I have a 911S 992.1. It’s absolutely a much better car. Probably best to compare it to the turbo. If we are going to be even more accurate in comparison we should really compare this to the Porsche GT3/RS. That truly is a proper comparison. Porsche is the benchmark sports/super car.

[@scartillery-sf4vx]

There are already test mules of an RWD GT63, which people assume will be the GTS or GTR or whatever. The advantages of a shared platform is they can mess around with details to alter. I don't think its necessarily bad for the base model to have more breadth in capability so as to appeal to more people, which is I think what the intent was for this one - making it more viable for more people. How many variants of the 911 are there? Don't see why AMG can't take the same approach with this one.

This is the thing about modern day wanna be car journalists, you lot don’t even own these cars but go get them for a day and make videos. Your main purpose is to make money off KZbin. Majority of you never owned a true sports car. How can you review a car like this and go seat at the back and say “you cannot got a human back there” as if the car was made to haul humans. You lot compare Porsche and amg cars and fail to understand that both companies have different philosophies. If all cars where the same like how electric cars are then what would be the fun and enthusiasm in driving them. You really think Porsche can’t straight pipe their cars for better sound? You lot have to really think before you come in here. These contents are just made for kids to watch and salivate over cars. Not everyone needs pops and bangs. My GTS cayman is stock and standing next to it, sounds amazing and I feel same about my 63s.

A lot of scattered points here. But understand that I would make these videos for free (and a lot of the time I do). It's simply something I enjoy doing. And I drive every car I Review for as long as humanly possible before putting together my thoughts. I've put nearly 600 miles on the GT in the week I've had it. And I feel like that's enough time to put together a comprehensive review. I made a lot of 911 Turbo comparisons here because that's simply AMGs target rival with this GT. And if you go on websites like Car and Driver, they say the exact same thing. My main purpose in creating content is to put together a story that makes sense. And do so in a way that I enjoy and that hopefully others enjoy too. And if every car journalist had to own every car they reviewed in order for it to have validity; then this medium simply wouldn't exist.

Mate I understand every journalist can’t own every car. The bottom line is every car is curated for a purpose and it brings variety. Your and others who do these videos make it as if a negative aspect on the manufacturer if the exhaust doesn’t sound the way you want. Also, driving it for 600 miles is never the same as having the car for a year at least. Living with the car.
