To clarify a few things from the video, I work at Mercedes-Benz in Stuttgart myself. First, the GT and the SL don't have much in common; one of the few shared components is the door. As for the SL 43, it has a 4-cylinder engine and also comes with all-wheel drive. And you can order the car with back seats and when you have them you can fold them down.

I have to say that in recent times, Doug has dropped the effort and quality of information that he puts into his videos. In the first eight minutes of the video he states that the SL43 has a V6 (it doesn't, it only gets the 4 cylinder), furthermore he talks about the GT only being offered with 2 seats (also wrong, it is obviously a 2+2). Those are the kind of mistakes that Doug usually doesn't make. Pretty disappointing to see how little he seems to work on his videos nowadays.

He used to pop the hood and point out funny warning labels and flip through the manual (perhaps digital now) and find interesting tidbits. Ya know, *quirks*.

Every review I've seen for this car has been largely negative due to increased weight & cost, and no substantial performance improvements compared to its predecessor.

BUT there's more, the GT hatchback is a BIG benefit over convertibles like the SL. This means the GT should receive a 4 for practicality. Upping the total score from 66 to 68, moving up the board as a result.
@rayyacht43424 ай бұрын
The AMG GT is NOT simply based on the SL. AMG developed a shared platform and derived the GT from it with sportive competency, and a SL with more comfort. They sure share some components, but it's much more than body cosmetics and some different software features. The common basis was chosen because the sales numbers of normal 2 door convertibles drop dramatically, so that way the SL could survive.

Check out throttle houses track review before you all start talking about its straight line numbers. It’s a track weapon. Weight is just a number. Plus it’s a GT!

It's very well tuned if you take Thomas' word on it. And I do, btw.

you can get the gt with rear seats as an option, and you can fold them down for more cargo area :)

Looks like a small old S65 with Roma tail lights. The SL can look refined but the AMG GT should look way more muscular than what we are being served right now.

For me, the overall design looks better on the SL version, specially the horizontal vent on the side

Reviews of this are all over the place. Many saying the doors and trim feel cheap and hallow for the price and complaining driving dynamics are worse than the lighter outgoing model who won awards like driver’s car of the year.

In the AMG GT63 on the European cars with rear seats, a no cost option, the seats do go down for extra storage capability.

While I don't necessarily have an issue with Mercedes' approach to the new GT since it does make a lot of sense from a business perspective, however, I do believe that it's not as special as the first generation of the AMG GT since it was actually a true sports car/supercar with its transaxle and front mid-engine layout. The original AMG GT also didn't share a platform with other Mercedes Benz models whereas the new AMG GT shares the same platform with the new SL. It's now more of a grand touring car when compared to the first generation. Overall, the new GT still has solid performance, but it has definitely gained a little bit of weight and has also become more practical which can be seen as either a positive or a negative to some. I personally prefer the first generation of the AMG GT, specifically the 2017 facelift. Regardless of how you look at it, the new AMG GT has people talking.
