I prefer the prior body style, which I think is sleeker and has fewer strakes and doo-dads, to the current body style.

I think you are also beginning to feel some of the mechanical service issues as well.
I just won't buy an new SL as I don't like the new SL style

I just fell in love with the body style of mine. The wife had a car show yesterday at Boeing where she works. Great turnout... Unfortunately, I still can't drive!!

Snapped outside The Dorchester today. Some rich guys flaunting toys.
The Merc was a monster but I'd take the GT3.

That actually is a Mercedes GT-S.
Hamann Motorsport is an aftermarket tuner that takes Mercedes, BMW, Lamborghini, Porsche and Range Rover and puts their touch on them. Just like Brabus does with Mercedes.

wow
Absent of a familiar logo I felt it wasn't
Here's my thought........
AMG has always been an after market upgrade to the Mercedes except for 2 models......the SLS (which I gather is discontinued because of a dislike for the gull wing doors) and its baby brother the GT-S. Why would you want to mess with something that is IMO already pretty darn good. Not something I would do

Precisely my point Bruce
Now if I could get it in that green with a retractable hard top (Panorama roof) I would be very interested

Mercedes-AMG GT Roadster spied testing
Fresh Nurburgring images show off a canvas roof; it looks quick too!
So, as expected, the drop-top AMG GT will use a canvas roof and not a folding hard top like the larger SL. Fabric roofs are common in the segment of course, with the Audi R8 Spyder and Jaguar F-Type SVR also using them.
Aside from the confirming what we had thought about the roof - a significant update, granted - there's little else to reveal right now. The styling is familiar AMG GT but with a reprofiled rear to accommodate the roof. Even when disguised, the profile appears to work well, a more compact fabric roof preventing any unsightly bulges around the roof or boot. A pop-up spoiler is still integrated as well.
You can read more below on what to expect from the AMG GT C, with a full reveal due later this year. Prices and specs to follow nearer the time. Can it successfully combine the coupe's driver focus with some open-air theatre? It could make quite the sports car if so.

Well the plot thickens on the ABC of my car. After the last repair where my battery was replaced as it was failing I was told the problem with the ABC fault light coming on was fixed. However the next day the red light comes on with a cold start in the morning.
Took it back to the dealer who now finds there is another ABC fault on the computer diagnostics. It now needs an ABC flush for $966 and if that doesn't work then a new valve block
All I can say is that GT-S AMG Biturbo is looking really good

The new AMG-GT is now showing up at dealer showrooms at about $115-120k
A GT-S is about $20-25k more.
