    It doesn't seem ideal to have ANY media event on September 9th, since it is the day Apple chooses to hold theirs, so at least some of the limelight will be taken away....

    Re: AMG GT Thread Chiuso

    In my opinion AMG GT won't find too many fans here on rennteam since its design can not be appreciated by die hard 911 fans.

    It is again,  in my subjective opinion the best design from Mercedes in last 25 years or so. If someone liked SLS AMG they will love AMG GT.

    I don't understand why Mercedes choosed the same design language for the AMG GT that was already used for the SLS. Not everybody likes this kind of retro style. From my point of view a more modern styling would have been the better choice for Mercedes next-gen sports car.

    Wait and see - I doubt it is to retro. For me it is a fresh looking Mercedes.

    This commercial is neither funny nor inspirational nor worthy for Mercedes. Its just boring and childish. .... just my two cents (even though I like the sound a lot).

    If anyone dislikes the shape off the AMG GT, but still wants AMG V8 power just wait for the new Aston Martin DB10. You will get all of the beauty of a Aston and all of the power of the AMG GT.

    I visited the local MB dealer last week and saw a matte finish GT-S on the floor.  I like the car in pictures, but in person it did very little for me.  Matte paint ruined it perhaps?  It did not seem as sleek as I was expecting and the size is just too large IMO, particularly given the size of the interior.  I was more impressed by the design of the S-class coupe sitting next to it.  But hey, all that matters is if you like it.  I totally understand why someone would like it, just not for me at all.

    PS: Had a laugh that this car was marked up $20k over MSRP.  Los Angeles area dealers try very hard to take advantage of impulse buyers with more money than sense.
