The new SL63 look dated

What do you guy think of the new SL63?
The interior is beautiful but the exterior look so dated. They took all the styling cue from older models. To me, it look out dated.

I disagree. IMO, they got it right and made it gorgeous this time. Especially after a few last ugly duckling models that came before this.

Fingers crossed they make a coupe version.

Some opinions are subjective and some are not, you are totally wrong OP. New SL is gorgeous.

Front looks good.
They could have done better with rear area. It looks similar to BMW Z4.

I personally like it, even though many seem to disagree. Looks classy

Seems a little restrained in the design department, but perhaps it’s what the target audience wanted. Much better than previous gen.

Yes, it look better than the previous model. What I meant, many styling cue took/share from the other current models. So even though the SL63 model is new, the style cue is like 5 yrs old.

Yep, agree with the positive comments. Stunning car and a proper AMG product from the ground up. If roadsters were my thing, this would be the first SL I'd consider buying. Lots of whining in the SL forum from the old farts, though .

It's gorgeous! I was sad to hear the GT Roadster was going away as that's my next car but seeing this I understand.

Exterior looks good, the Tesla screen on a roadster is a miss so not so hot on the interior. Driving dynamics will be amazing. Clip on windscreen a big miss at this level. MB engineers should have figured out a way to install a retractable one.

It looks fine but doesn’t wow me. It looks similar to the GT. I think GT looks better and interior is better on the GT. Not digging the center screen on SL.
Save your $ and get a used GT.
The performance on the SL is not that impressive for a new AMG model. It should be closer to 612 HP or higher. A Tesla model 3 performance is faster than this new SL.
If I’m dropping over $100k I want it to be faster than $50k Model 3.

Well the SL was ALWAYS a stand alone model, unique to the automotive world and MB lineup. This iteration is nothing more than a convertible GT.

I think it looks great. The last one was a dog. Going AWD sucks. But this car was never for me.
