Can someone confirm that in the US/Canada they have eliminated the Sport+ exhaust backfires? I heard this, but not sure if it’s true, or if it applies to N America.
The begging of the end for us Petrol Heads! (I’m keeping my 2019!)

 

Are you drunk? This has been answered.

 

And in your own thread...wtf is with the trolling on this board?

Beginning of the end...gt350r and gt500 beg to differ -stunning exhaust notes

Hadn’t really been confirmed in that thread. Thanks for the attitude.

 

People are so quick to jump in people's throat.
People suck sometimes.

I'm sure someone can confirm this, there's plenty of 2020's out there already.

 

That isn’t it man. This is a consistent narrative with Surge. Doom and Gloom. 2019s are better than 20s, etc. Very strange.

2020s - for the last time are quieter but still have the crackles and pops.

My 2020 GTR Pro has them.

no doom and gloom for exhaust and no end in site for performance vehicles with big v8s and exhaust. We are arguably in the greatest time for big hp loud exhaust factory vehicles.

 

This. Dont forget GTC is better than GTR, roadster is the only true way to enjoy the car, etc.

 

It's demonstrable that the 2019s and earlier have some features that are better than the 2020s. I don't subscribe to something being better just because it's newer. There's a reason why I bought my 2019 when I could have easily bought a 2020.
I must be striking a nerve because you're obviously getting worked up about it.
I share my views here because I know there are potential buyers who are trying to decide between the 2019 and earlier and the 2020s.
And Do Not get me started about that hideous center console, with a blank switch (because they moved the start button!).

 

Cut the cats and you will have more crackle n' pops - enough said

 

Oh well here we go again

 

 

...annnnnnnddddd, there it is. Feel better?
FK the G-D console already man. No. One. Cares.

 

See, that’s where you are wrong, mon ami. Everyone cares, or should care, because the message to send to Mercedes is that it’s not acceptable for their flagship sports car to have a shared console with blank switches. Especially when the original had a custom design that represents what’s probably the most special attribute of the car - the V8.

Does it take away from the driving experience? No... but is it lame? Absolutely! Stop kidding yourself. Of course it is.

 

again, no one gives a **** about the console...its preference.

 

The blank switch is only on the GT R, where the TC button was replaced by a knob. On all other variants, all buttons are used. While I like the circular buttons and knobs better, the new centre console doesn’t bother me too much.
