    Mercedes-AMG GT 2014-

    I thought someone else would be posting this...

    Not exactly the prettiest thing out there. Interior looks stupid, navigation LCD looks slapped on like usual, and the car looks overinflated.

    And the rear just looks like a sad evolution of the SLS AMG, which didn't look good from the rear anyway.

    Pt 2

    No manual = not a true 911 competitor as far as I'm concerned.

    The jpg file name of the interior is so pretentious it's amazing- I can't make this up-

    the_quality_feel_of_the_interior_of_the_mercedes_a mg_its_extensive_standard_equipment_and_its_high_s uitability_for_everyday_use_are_exceptional.jpg

    And your nav screen looks like a $200 android tablet.

    I'd say that perhaps the front is the less successful attribute of the car.

    Other than that it is a good looking car; it does have the classic front-engined sportscar proportions coupled with nice round shapes. So in that aspect it was hard to go wrong.

    Honestly, if you compare the AMG GT to the SL, there's very little difference in the front. It just looks like Mercedes removed the folding roof and gave it the SLS AMG's rear, while heavily sloping the rear glass.

    Actually the glass house, windscreen, back window look not unlike the E-Type Jag...

    It is also the première of the new 4 litre twin turbo AMG V8 engine, which will find its way to other Mercs (like the forthcoming AMG C-Class) #4

    Apparently it'll cost around 150 thousand € which is quite a lot for a 911 rival #5

    The big and heavy gullwing doors have been reserved for an eventual SLS successor. The GT will have to do with conventional doors #6

    The standard model has a mechanical limited slip differential, the S has an electronically controlled one #7

    #10 The luggage compartment capacity of 350 litres will hold two golf bags either lengthways or crossways.

    You and me can bore everyone else to death around here.
