Is it NOW or NEVER to BUY a 2019 Mercedes Benz AMG SL63 Roadster?

[@LS1007]

German engineering at its finest. Serious car requires some serious bucks. AMG= All Money Gone. Nice job Joe! 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸

Brakes that stop time! Torque that alters the Earth's rotation! You're bringing joy to my brain at the quantum level Joe. All that's left is to ask for Warp Factor Nine, and say "Engage!"

I need to add that in there for takeoff!

[@DaveA441]

Right now it’s a no buy. Until it gets refreshed like all the sedans and suvs it is not up to par with the competition.

[@RaitisRides]

Looks like nor refresh is ever going to happen. :-(

[@CommandoMaster]

If the trunk lid closes down with the top in it wouldn't it crush your stuff in the trunk. I wonder if they considered that when designing that contraption.

[@RaitisRides]

The trunk will not close with stuff blocking it.

I never was interested in or thought MB had that great of cars. I owned jags, Audi and now porsches. Now I do, I actually brought my Cayman GTS from Crown, Great staff of people to buy from. Enjoy watching .

I love everything about this AMG SL63 Roadster except its RWD only and I'm an AWD Guy.

Definently a super gorgeous car and almost great numbers...I wonder how much extra hp you can get out of that engine. Not so sure about the price, even Mercedes have better options at that price range. Loved the review, I feel a little bad for the new owner picking it up after this but at the same time he can get a free review on his own car lol. I think it's a great car and I do understand the price, but still it feels a little pricey. Great review like always Joe!

Joe I really love LOVE ...... the AMG line of Benzies. I love that they trickledown that F1 technology into these street cars. Let me ask you though.... idk the answer to this, but is there a smaller AMG Benzie like a Hothatch or something close to a Gti or WRX or RS? Is there something in that line that can be somewhat comparable to those cars ??? Thanks!!! Great review as always

[@RaitisRides]

Thanks for your input and perspective! I really appreciate you watching!

[@twfinc6855]

If your tall this is the car for you. If you want a sports car, but want it to be able to be comfortable at the same time, get one of these... It has a split personality.. I drove a AMG GTR, didnt feel faster by much... and was far more cramped.. I dont care what people say, people say its a floater or not sports car, they are wrong.. it has an under rated 577 HP, I have done the quarter mile at 11.43 at 126 mph, and half mile at 17.8 seconds 151 mph.. it handles awesome as well. 0-60 I have done 3.6 seconds according to my draggy, and it was dead on with my quarter mile runs at the track... I love my 2018.... the model you have I dont like the interior, I have carbon fibre, I dont like that white..... Car is slow to kick down is my only complaint about the transmission.

[@RaitisRides]

Thanks for sharing that input and perspective!

[@bossbod3163]

I’ll take a Aston Martin over this! Mercedes use too much plastic

[@Midg-td3ty]

I dislike the back. The front of the facelift is fine. But the back still kills it for me. Shame because I love the R230. I hope they refresh it and make it a hardtop convertible again. How else is it going to set itself apart from the AMG GT Roadster.
