To clarify a few things from the video, I work at Mercedes-Benz in Stuttgart myself. First, the GT and the SL don't have much in common; one of the few shared components is the door. As for the SL 43, it has a 4-cylinder engine and also comes with all-wheel drive. And you can order the car with back seats and when you have them you can fold them down.
Rear seats are available. Actually, the rear seats fold down and don’t have the partition barrier, ironically creating significantly more cargo area than the no rear seat option.
There's actually 5 variants: AMG GT 43 with a Turbo-4, AMG GT 55 & 63 with two variants of the BiTurbo V8, AMG GT 63 Pro with an upgraded BiTurbo V8, fixed wing, more intakes, and more downforce, and the AMG GT 63 S E Performance with 803 horsepower
The rear seats are large enough for my children who rarely ride in the car anyway. About as large as the rear seats were in my dads 928. Family fun taking off ramps at 120mph.
Every manufacturer that moves the temperature and volume controls to a touch screen has lost the plot. This will be the scourge of 2018-2025 cars when we look back in the future.
In Mercedes they are always in the same place, they're large and easy to use. I have zero issues using it, I can even use it without looking because I know exactly where to touch. Or I can just tell it to change the temp, the voice control works extremely well.
I saw this car in Hillcrest this weekend. A kid was driving with the front spoiler down and he grounded out, and shaved off a quarter inch of it, got embarrassed and lit the tires!!! Lol.
Another correction, he said the car was 2 seater only. In fact, rear seats can be optioned to make it a 2+2 like the SL. This car clearly didn't have that option. Surprised he didn't mention that as it was like the first thing on the press release when this car came out I feel lol
Will the 43 be sold in the US though? I think it is only for specific markets like Europe, where they need such a engine to keep emissions down for regulations.
18:26 Doug shows us that the stitching on the dashboard to door panels is out of alignment before talking about how great the interior is. Keep up the good work.

I have to say that in recent times, Doug has dropped the effort and quality of information that he puts into his videos. In the first eight minutes of the video he states that the SL43 has a V6 (it doesn't, it only gets the 4 cylinder), furthermore he talks about the GT only being offered with 2 seats (also wrong, it is obviously a 2+2). Those are the kind of mistakes that Doug usually doesn't make. Pretty disappointing to see how little he seems to work on his videos nowadays.
He used to pop the hood and point out funny warning labels and flip through the manual (perhaps digital now) and find interesting tidbits. Ya know, *quirks*. This was just an incredibly bland Mercedes advertisement. I think the only critique was for the in-screen AC controls? Every review I've seen for this car has been largely negative due to increased weight & cost, and no substantial performance improvements compared to its predecessor. Not to mention it lacks the character.

It's 1,000 lbs heavier than an AWD Porsche 911. That's why it needs 570hp, but I'm not sure what the solve is for the braking and corners that defines this category of sports car. BMW and Mercedes really seem to have lost the plot when it comes to sports car and sedans that soon wont be allowed on certain B roads due to commercial load limits.

@demonstructie they redesigned our whole country for the car and the indoor mall shopping experience. Not as much in warmer climate areas here, there's some outdoor malls for shopping. But Temecula has a few old school city blocks where it's store fronts and balcony porches above the sidewalk, more how shopping and business was in the old wild west days I guess is the best way to describe it.
I like this thing. Looks like a great road trip sports car. Had a lot of creature comforts, is comfortable but can also crush your spleen on a track if you want. Could have used it on our most recent road trip on the Washington State peninsula when we ran into a drag racing track. Would definitely have detoured for some impromptu drag racing had I had this :).
The rear does fold as long as you option for the no cost option seats. It will fold and you can fit skis right through. It’s just they don’t show that when you have the standard two seat configuration just as a heads up. @Doug love the reviews

That dealership most likely on top of Indian burial grounds lol
This a a good looking SL COUPE ….I prefer the more pronounced front mid engine strict 2seater layout of the previous gen…AMG GTR GREEN with yellow brakes and seat belts
The Mercedes GT is our favorite car! 😍

In the AMG GT63 on the European cars with rear seats, a no cost option, the seats do go down for extra storage capability.
this isn't no AMG GT Successor. This is a 2 door version of the AMG GT 4-Door Coupe
You didn’t know the first gen gt was a 2 door version of the 4 door variant?
This is the coupe version of the AMG GT sedan. By definition a coupe must have two doors.
Interesting that Doug got it wrong the SL43 has a 4 cylinder. I believe it’s had that for like 3 years.
Dimwit Doug at it again
Looks like a small old S65 with Roma tail lights. The SL can look refined but the AMG GT should look way more muscular than what we are being served right now.
Doug's new car to add to his collection just long enough to sell on Cars and Bids.
