Imagine it to be firmer but still compliant and more structurally solid. Plus much more space in the cabin and easier entry/exit.
These are designed for a broader audience and less for track duty.

What engines do you think will be available and what approximate price ranges? The larger dimensions, easier ingress/egress and hard top interest me. Thank you for your insightful knowledge. Appreciate it.

I would expect a 63 followed by a 55 (can't imagine a 43) and then your performance spec'd models similar to the GTR and eventually a Black Series. Pricing will likely be pretty similar to the SL is my guess.

Like @places said, the 63 and 55 are confirmed for launch. There has been no word but the 43 is a given as is the 63 ePerformance on the top-end. Both have been seen during cold weather tests. The V8 ePerformance models have been delayed; the GT 4 door coupe and the S63 are just coming next year. I hope that there would be a more track ready version a la GTR or Pro but the weight makes that a bit less likely..
In regards to pricing, I may be the only one thinking that they will be about $12k to $14k cheaper than the SL. This would reflect the price difference between the older GT coupes and roadsters. We'll have to see

Per MBUSA, both cars should be available in the first half of 2024. The first rev. DOG is out but only lists the GT 63 coupe. No pricing of course although the German configurator is out. So far, it is cheaper than the SL by about 6K Euro. Perhaps that serves as a basic price indicator.

Wolfman, and any others who are knowledgeable, my question is, will this make it to the USA?

GT 53 4 door models are selling better than the 63’s and new 53’s have more power and more torque.
That would be the step up from a CLE53…
That said, I couldn’t imagine getting a car like this. The V8 is the minimum in the GT coupe.

While I haven’t seen anything to that effect I am certain the GT 53 coupe will be US bound.
