How do I post pics (10-12)? Wrote a comment and chose camera (iPhone 13) pics but then what to do?
Compared to SL, this is more luxe, more spacious, easier in/out, larger trunk. More studdly appearance. No contest, am definitely ordering one.

I saw this one at Fletcher Jones in Newport Beach and thought it was quite stunning. Much better looking than the convertible, in my opinion.

I do like it too in person but I know this vehicle is way too heavy : (

The proportions are good, the lights are good.

Nice Styling. The problem for me, living in Southern California, and in Orange County, is that I have the top down on my AMGSL 63 almost full-time. And of my last five cars only one has not been a convertible, the original GTS, which I loved, but once I could get the GTC as a convertible, I loved it even more! At any rate as in all style and design things to each his own, but this new GT is beautiful looking no doubt about it in my opinion.

Glad you figured out how to post the images OP, thanks for posting. This vehicle looks good in this colour! All the lines and design elements shows. If I was in the market (despite the weight) this would be a good choice.

SL63 AMG (R232)
The AMG GT looks nice but:
  • it is no convertible (I got the SL63 because I wanted a convertible)
  • it weights the same compared to the SL, believe it or not, weight is identical
  • it accelerates faster from 0-100 kph due to an improved launch control/gearbox setup but 100 to 200 kph time is identical (I tried).
  • it feels a bit more direct/planted due to changed chassis software setup but chassis is basically the same
  • steering is a bit more direct/light in Race mode but difference is barely noticeable
Yes, I like how the new AMG GT looks (front, fenders, rear lights) but I also love the SL, it looks very classy.

If you want a Coupe, the AMG GT it perfect. I'd take the AMG GT63 E Performance though. It weights 200 kg more but performance is amazing and you cannot feel the extra weight.

Good looking SL you got there, I especially like the contrasting red rooftop, as for gearbox software, I wonder if MB will push it to the SL as well.

2023 SL63 + 2019 e-tron
I won't lie, I have considered swapping the SL for a GT, but it might not make much sense . . . Tax alone would be brutal
I do REALLY like the body shape of the GT, but having the flexibility of a convertible and the identical interior tells me that I should just be happy with what I have

Lots of hate for the SL63, but I have been loving it - I would take a bath on a trade-in, so I need to put these thoughts away, HaHa

I would switch my SL63 only with the new SL63 E Performance.
