Re: AMG GT
KresoF1:In short no.
Oh well - some journalist recently said some very unexpected brands would be reintroducing manuals soon - guess AMG is not one of them...

Re: AMG GT
KresoF1:Grant,
AMG GT-S would make no sense at all with manual gearbox. Car is designed and engineered with DCT as its only gearbox. New AMG GT-R would even make less sense as manual.
Neither Ferrari, Lamborghini or Mclaren plan to introduce manual gearbox.
Guess I just need to appreciate Porsche, BMW, Aston-Martin, Jaguar, Lotus, and all the American sports cars more for keeping the faith 
The new Viper ACR is beating Porsche 918 at many tracks lately with 6spd manual.

Re: AMG GT
It's crazy how many GT-S are for sale on the second hand market in Switzerland, think I saw 140 online for such a small market. Must be really hurting residuals I'd think, shame for such a wonderful car.

Re: AMG GT
Gnil:The car has good reviews. The concept is nice. It looks good. I wonder why it does not sell more ?
Agreed. Seems like a very nice car overall. But for me it is missing something "special" when compared to the SLS. I can't put my finger on exactly what it is. Something is just not as exciting with the GT as with the SLS.

Re: AMG GT
On a personal note, at 191cm of height, I noticed a distinct lack of legroom when I sat in one in a showroom and that was enough to make me lose any interest or curiosity concerning the GT. Car I sat in didn't have the sports seats; salesman told me that you gain a few CM of legroom with those.
Re: AMG GT
sfo:GT does not have the SLS's gullwing doors, and does not have the sensational dry sumped NA 6.3 V8 ..that's why it's just another MB
While turbo, I do think it gets a dry sump version of the 4.0L

Re: AMG GT
One thing is for sure though: Never wear a suit and tie when driving a GT. Saw a guy in this 60s today in the GT with a suit and tie and it looked so...how to put it...inappropriate. Maybe it was just me, I don't even own a suit and tie 
but it really looked weird.

Driving naked could be described as weird. Driving in a suit, well, I would say normal.
Unless you are weird, then the opposite might be true and normal looks weird

Re: AMG GT
RC, you certainly have your own perspective on things. Maybe you think this made the guy seem old and not the sports car driving type. I have driven my GT4 (stick shift and all) in a suit/tie a few times. Sometimes my business meetings require a suit and in another instance I was driving to a wedding anniversary party. No sweat.
What do you wear if you must attend a semi-formal event like a wedding, symphony / opera, etc.?

You are absolutely right, RC.
It was just you.

So I guess you guys own a suit and tie?
I thought James Bond is the only one wearing a suit and tie in a sports car but...oh well...
The Panamera fits this style a bit better...I think.

You got style bud. Not that I had expected anything less
I used to frequent the Pink store when living in London. Great shirts!

Same here.
A suite is the perfect cloth for any gentleman. Every man looks the best in a good, tailored suite. No doubt that's the reason why James Bond is wearing those instead of some Khakis.

European mentality :)
I always find that Europeans have more taste in clothing than Americans.
