Thinking of the W222 again
Am in the process of shopping for a Coupe to add to my garage. I will continue to daily drive a lux sedan that I have, but I have the extra space/spot ready now, and have couple options that I looked at over the past 3-4 weeks for a fun weekend Coupe. It must be a Coupe.
The non-Benz options I looked at are: new M8 Competition, low mileage CPO 2024+ Bentley Continental GT PHEV.
The Benz option that am highlight considering is the S65 AMG Coupe; they come standard with MBC on top of the AMG suspension tuning setup, 3D Burmester, and other standard options that are usually optional in the other trims. I believe, unlike the sedan, they made them until 2021. Finding one may take months and months of search as these are hard to find. My issue with the 9G transmission will go away because S65 (unlike S63) comed with the 7G instead of the 9G transmission.
I also thought about the SL as well as AMG GT (as I learned I can get rear seat with the GT), but I had two W222 sedans as my daily in the past; and it was one of the very best cars I ever had.....so at least in this case I know what am getting myself into, plus the V12 is undeniable nowadays.
Thoughts?
