Seeing The AMG GT Four Door In Person
Oh man, I just saw 9 different AMG GT4's in person. Some sort of testing/reviewing going on in Austin today. They were taking the cars on Mount Bonnell, which happens to be an everyday drive for me. ;-)
Seeing the cars in person on the road? They are certainly not for me. No way, no how. Too big, boxy. They look like they ride pretty high too. I think the CLS looked better than these cars. They may have a ton of performance that makes up for looks, but the Panamera is a much better looking car if you are shopping.
And using the GT name? Whatever.

waiting for real tests now before ordering one.
I love the E63 but it would beat me too much with my average 20k miles/year on Chicago’s horrible roads so I’m hoping this car will have more compliant suspension options.

The suspension will be interesting. I would imagine it would be harsher than an E63. Hopefully they do have a "soft" version, but that one won't win over the journalists. Have you considered picking up a used S63? I would imagine that would have a softer ride, but I've admittedly never driven one.

Thing looks huge! Looks like MB went back to the big General Motors barges of the 60's & 70's. Albeit with a little sleeker styling. All that's really missing now is some Cadillac Fleetwood fins - lol. Oh wait - there's one on the AMG One.

2017 AMG GTS
have seen one as well at my local dealer!! Badass ride! I like the interior except for the center console, I like the buttons more on the old style GT. But it sounded good, looked good just not for me! Enjoy the 2 doors instead of 4
