What do you all think of the 2023 Mercedes AMG G63? It may not be a popular opinion on this forum, but I thought it was ridiculous, expensive, wasteful and boastful...and then I drove one. It turns out the G63 is astonishingly fun! (And I have another reason to hate myself.)
Mostly, it comes down to the fact that the V8 in this truck is a barrel of monkeys and makes the big box fly! I have the same V8 in my AMG GT, but it sounds so much better in the G63. I have no idea why!
I found the G63 is comfortable, easy to see out of, and have a refined ride and drivetrain. The amenities were high quality, if old-school; there’s very little in-your-face tech in this Mercedes.
I’m too wound up in the G63’s King-of-LA image to buy one myself (not that I can afford it), but it was a real meet-your-enemies moment when I drove the G63 I despised and discovered I love its on-road attitude. It just goes to show that I should avoid judging books by their covers.
