this is probably the clearest video I've seen so far. Some of my thoughts...
-New steering wheel is a nice upgrade.
-New (optional) digital dash display is awesome. Yes, I know some prefer analog so that's a preference thing. But there's no denying that the new display has its pros too.
-Exhaust tips - I thought these were real when the first photos leaked. But they are indeed fake tips just like the 2017/2018 models. But I think they look better than before.
-Power upgrade - Oh yes
Like:
Tail lights are more aggressive, I do like that.
jury is still out on the exhaust pipes
nice trunk space and seat folding capability
Dislike:
steering wheel is too finesse for me; if this were a streamlined sports car (not a middle ground) perhaps better. But the AMG wheel option is nice on the 2017/18, beefy but not too much.
I am not a digital dials guy so that’s a downside to me.
The new aspect ratio on the screen is odd as well.
Well done, MB. I can dig everything they updated on that, for sure!
But........
- I would prefer that they did something a bit more unique with the exhaust than quad round tips. Uninspired to say the least but can't deny that they are a much needed improvement and change from what the hell you wanna even call these current tips lol.
- I do wish that they kept the diamond grill. Hopefully it's a no cost option when you spec one. Or a courtesy swap by your dealer. It's the one of the best looking grills Benz has right now, in my opinion.
I think so far, the Benz debut of the show for me is the AMG GT63s. Anyone love or hate it? That seems to be the take on it from what I've seen. I'm obviously in the former column, in fact, I'm pretty sure it just knocked out the new E63s from being my favorite sedan right now. Pretty positively sure on that haha
Don't much like that thing...looks like a bloated sports car à la Porsche Panamera...which I also dislike. I know why it's there, but it does not evoke love
