Yeah it was that video. It just seemed so rushed. Sometimes I watch his reviews, but never have I seen one this rushed and lazy IMO.

i do not think that the ePerformance is a good approach for the SL. That car is very heavy as is. A tuned V8 will deliver more performance with less disadvantages.
My concern here is also a bit more towards the new AMG GT models which runs on the same platform.
After all, the prior gen. AMG GT gave the 911 a run for the money and meeting/beating them in many ways. I can’t see that happening with the next gen.
Seems like Ferrari handles the hybrids better than MB IMO.

2022 SL 63
Super happy with her for the price + trade-in I got. Unfortunately, not anymore pics as an acquaintance fell on the car with their bicycle handle two days before my PPF appointment...ruining the MATTE paint on the hood. She's in for PPF of the car plus a hood repaint. A shame.

Tomorrow the all new CLE will be release by MB.
I will be deciding between a CLE and an SL...
Even with 40-50k discount I still don't think I could afford an SL... will we see a lot of off-lease SLs next 2 years? If we do what kind of price would I expect for a 2022 SL55 or SL63?
thx

I think it’s neither rushed or lazy. He does focus on a bunch of non relevant things, but this is a S Class review after all.

We agree on all these points. I think AMG is in a bit of disarray at the moment. Too many AMG executive reshufflings and putting people in charge who aren’t really car people or enthusiasts of the AMG brand. I know for a fact Tobias Moers would not have gone this direction on a lot of their models. He was an enthusiast of the brand and often butted heads with Ola.

I am seeing price increases on some of the SL these days... what's the logic behind it while many buyers got 40k discount...
