    GT-C looks so much better than GT! Next year the GT-C Coupe will be launched. Kind of a smaller engined GT-R. Great move AMG!

    AMG GT S has surprisingly held it's value in the US from what I can tell. It's probably because there isn't a shitty normal version that looks identical. I expected them to tank and be at least another $20-30K lower than they are.





    It seems to be the opposite here in CH. 130 are up for sale. You can get a one year old GT-S with the engine almost not broken in for 55-60% of new price. I don't think I ever seen a car tank like this. Makes a normal 911 Carrera look like it keeps the vale well...

    That GT-C looks extremely sexy. i'm not into roadsters, but this one really hits the spot... Indeed a coupé version with this power, wide body but without the R's wings would be a sweet-spot in the range imo.

    Smiley It looks like the perfect roadster, I just don't like those headlights (this will change with the next facelift as far as I heard).

    Yeah, but are they double the starting price of everywhere else? What's the price of a nice spec GT S in CH?

    Nice car, but it cannot compete with the 911 in large number of sales because of the lack of rear seats.

    Re: AMG GT R

    There are barely even any on eBay in the US. I'm guessing prices are actually high in the US due to seemingly low demand met with low supply. Not a ton of demand and not a ton of supply either. I went to a big Mercedes dealer near me a few months ago and they didn't even have one in stock.

    A nice spec GT-S is CHF 220k-230k list price, but offered for CHF 180k-200k by official dealers. So already a decent discount on brand new cars. A one year old with 5k km on the clock is CHF 125k.

    Not so sure about the looks. Has a Buick front grill and the exhaust sound leaves much to be desired. Also, at the end of the trailer you can hear it farting.laugh

    But the price is right.kiss

    Same here, you can get the GT S for "little" money, amazing lease conditions as well (according to my dealer). Cars do not sell well, for whatever reason.

    But it is very interesting, that the "nomal, non "C" GT convertible" also has that vertical grill

    Re: AMG GT R

    I like it a lot . It would probably be on top of my list if I would go for a GT cab .

    Only ' problem' could be the hight in the cabin . In the coupe I find the windshield / roof to be too low for my vision .

    They been talking about the 4 seater since the day they announced to build a GT. Actually I heard roomers of many variants in the line up. It seems AMG wants to build a whole line up of GTs.
