2017 AMG GT
the guy that keeps posting about Porsches is cracking me up. I would bet that many of us have owned a Porsche or 2 or 3 or 4. I wouldn't be surprised if that guy has never even owned one yet. Its probably still on his bucket list.

Really great. A car with this kind of long nose needs it. Film lays flat and even when I'm washing it's hard to tell there's vinyl. Usually, just a rinse and your done.

Hey Florence

Nobody here cares what you and consumer reports thinks.

Stay off my thread. This was and is meant for the benefit of owners of this car and not Pussies like yourself who have never owned or driven a GT.

Suntek front end wrap is done and it is amazing. I was at a C&C last weekend and a car guy friend was checking out the car closely and asked me if was going to get a wrap. "I already have" was the great answer. It's stunning how good the product and many of the installers are these days.

That's great. I was looking at my car yesterday in direct sunlight and was thinking same.

I did apply this spray that was given to me by installer and it actually mirrors up film even more, as well as keeping dust from accumulating.

Because you have no idea what your talking about when it comes to cars. Consumer reports?? On so many levels your a fool to think it means anything, especially in regards to this GT. Last time I checked, this car was manufactured by AMG. My car is incredibly well built and I believe there are other owners that feel same way.

Of course there are problems with any high performance automobile, and I'm sympathetic to any high end buyer who has to go through that process.

Oh and you and your blue ink are just creepy lol.

Good morning Dick,

Getting harsh again Dick. Oh iI am pretty sure if Mercedes Benz placed top three your pants would be wet by now. Facts are just simply facts. Just because after more than a decade you replaced your old and clunky CL 63 with your AMG GT you placed yourself above the pedestal. If you are an expert about cars you should buy the $3M future AMG. Well it probably will just take you a century to attain that.

Surfing the forum saw this cool video. Looks like the C63s hung in there but couldn't beat the awesome GT3. Is your AMG GT modded enough to beat that GT3?

How about now, do you like the red instead?

You should go buy a Buick to go with your Beetle.

I am perfectly happy with a top 5 finish for MB and looks like Porsche is doing extremely well and is sticking it to the Japanese.

Hello Vic55,

I am happy for Buick. For awhile they were thinking of closing shop on Buick brand. We need more companies to bring unemployment down and bring economy back on track!.

You keep displaying zero knowledge of cars. Buick is GM/Chevy. The Buick brand has some cache in China and some other markets. It hasn't sold that well in the US but its improving slightly. To say you are happy for Buick shows a lack of understanding.

Research about the talk of the brand Buick intended to be retired albeit temporary or permanent. Please understand I was talking about BUICK.

Geeeezzzz...... it is easy to research, just GOOGLE it! Here is a sample.

The problem with you guys is that you are "All Knowing." Yes I agree you all know about the "Negative" image of AMG GT and the decline in quality. I am talking about the American car brand Buick praising the fact that it ranks high on dependability as cited by emericr. And here you act thumping your chest you know everything.

YES I am happy that the brand is NOT totally dead! What's wrong with you Bubba? Are you anti-American or something? You may be knowledgeable on AMG GT but your ignorance shows.

Unless people are looking for a Toyota, Honda or the likes, Consumer Reports is a useless publication for cars.

They never touch many of the cars discussed in these forums here anyway and if severe technical issues are looked at the same way as a small nuisance issue, reliability ratings and customer satisfaction ratings are not very useful.

That said, Audi's are fine cars even though some of their line-up is pretty ancient.

The engine is build at AMG, the raw body at TyssenKrupp.

Production for the GTR, GT C and roadster have now started as well in Sindelfingen.

Just FYI

This is nothing unusual; most models are built in different plants with AMG delivering key assemblies to the line...

Yeah, he was probably alluding to the fact its the 2nd only "in house" developed car by AMG.

Wolfman I appreciate all of your comments as you have always been keen to manufacturing information. But yes as Vic commented, this is a 2nd design by AMG and is why I waited for 2017 GT.

Looks like 18 GT models won't get upgraded Nappa so I'm grateful I made that call. The leather on the dash and on the seats is amazing.

Clearly you have too much time on your hands. Sometimes you surf and find you know **** that's 10 years old as in that C63.

Since you are so adamant about my buying cycle, I bought a 2009 CL63 in 2012 with low miles as I have to drive a lot of highway to court in comfort of course. Traded in 2016 and wrote a check for the GT. This is my 5th AMG.

With that said, I would put up title on Road Atlanta with that 911R with YOU driving.
