and they'll take a nice hit when they unload it as soon as they realize biological tan is not a flattering color ... unless it's a lease

Thanks! And yeah, the GT55’s color was an absolute disaster—somehow even uglier in person. It was like the designers lost a bet. And that upgraded carbon? So dark it was basically playing hide-and-seek with the stock black parts on the CLE—except for the mirror caps, which stood out like they didn’t get the memo.

Pretty sure I saw this same sand GT on TikTok unless another dealer is stupid enough to spec one like this.

This color doesn’t belong on anything other than the G-Class. That GT won’t sell. Sorry.

Duffer 5, thank you for providing.
Putting aside that hideous color, (reminiscent of the yellow opt. on the 2025 CLE53) it's interesting how the front ends of each AMG are defined.
Stepping (down) into the GT (wide heavy doors open) is not something I would enjoy with two cars in my garage, never mind the step up in price.
I like the height of my 53 and the front end look in comparison, I just think the CLE53 is a perfect size coupe.

Yup, someone who sees the CLE53 for what it is—the perfect blend of style, practicality, and AMG aggression without the unnecessary acrobatics of the GT. That sandy brown may be a bold choice (or a cry for help), but at least the CLE53 keeps it classy. Honestly, who needs the step up in price when you've already got the ideal coupe? Sounds like the best pick in the AMG lineup to me.
