    Wow! Back at Thomas’s videos and I just noticed he has not reached 1M subscribers while he’s one of the first RUclips cars reviewers and he’s definitely the one and only who delivers a complete review of cars inside outside full screen. In comparison Matt Watson (UK) has almost 7 M subscribers and he mainly feeds fans with drag race reviews. It’s not even how we should call it. I leave it that way. I don’t know Thomas’s target in term of customers or followers. But he is painfully underrated.

    Glass roofs rule roadsters. The glass roof experience is decidedly more decadent as appropriate for an SL. Adding backseats was not worth killing the smoothness, the refinement, the airy openness of the glass roof experience. Ultimately the car is 220lbs heavier and less refined to gain nothing of an advantage. Again, with sincerest appreciation, all my respect for the prompt production of this review.

    • @agnusdeiofficial1266
      @agnusdeiofficial1266 2 года назад

      It is heavier mainly because of all wheel drive and a 9-speed gearbox. And the gain is feeling like a proper sportscar rather than a cruising GT. If you want a silky smooth experience with good performance there's also the E 53 Cabriolet.

    • @LawrenceMarkFearon
      @LawrenceMarkFearon 2 года назад

      @@agnusdeiofficial1266 A proper sports car is the AMG GT. If you're looking for a sports car to chase 911's on tracks, I suggest you start there because no sports cars have column shifters like a 1955 pickup truck. But not even awd was worth losing the power glass roof. The SL principle is original autobahn bred road weaponry. Think Maryland to Florida not backroad corner carving. Even Thomas has said R232 is no SL and he's right: the elegance is gone.

    • @agnusdeiofficial1266
      @agnusdeiofficial1266 2 года назад

      ​@@LawrenceMarkFearon I've had a few 911s and I loathed the AMG GT. Disproportionate hood, crappy visibility, unpleasant heat coming from the center console in summer, stiff ride, stupid smaller diameter rims upfront that's becoming a pandemic (911s, M3s). Far from a daily driver contrary to the 911 or this new R232. Who cares about the shifter when you are using the paddleshifters in manual mode. There was zero elegance about the last two generations as keeping a complex metal roof in the back makes that third box look like a pickup truck in the making. This generation looks so sharp and stylized in comparison, especially that flat sculpted hood almost at the wheel arches level reminding me somehow of the Honda S2000. Considering this car is replacing three very different models at once, they have done an excellent job.

    as an r129 owner, I believe the modern SL should have launched with a carbon fiber removable hardtop, sure the SL was traditionally a soft top car , but it also carried a standard removable hardtop. The devil is always in the details. If I were to drive my car into nyc ,La, or Atlanta, best believe the hardtop would be equipped. Especially if I had to park it in the mall or a busy car park.

      For sound proofing and insulation, a modern multi layered soft top like this are perfectly fine.
      Folding hard top was too heavy especially with the added weight of AWD and rear steering, which are now essential to the driving experience if the car is to competitive.
      Removable CF hard top would've been a cool option.

      @@2JZDestroyer yeah it did. I said it would be cool, but removable hard tops are out of fashion now. Plus not needed as the fabric hood is 3 layered, and better sealed.
      The R129 of which I own, had a very basic and thin single layer hood with no lining, so the hard top was essential for Winter.
      Re folding hard top I'm referring to the R230 and R231.

    Who signed off these ‘buttons’ on the steering wheel etc for they are a nightmare to operate. Tested a C class for 4 days and it’s really hit and miss. Cruise control is hard to operate, worse to switch off. volume used to go in equal steps, now it’s bang to loud, to quiet. selecting the front screen functionality is almost killing you because of the multiple attempts you need straying your view off of the road… it’s not a question of getting used to, it’s plain bad. I am really curious how they got to this point of badness. It’s the same for the S class, E class, and the SL. TRY before you buy people….

    Love both of the cars, but it will be quite some time before I can get rid of my current SL (which I love) to step up to one of these newer models.
    My car was 118k as optioned, (R231)so I hate to know what these models cost. I must say although I love the look of the soft top and always have, I prefer the hard top convertibles sound deadening and better securing of the inside of the vehicle.
    As for the air scarf I actually love mine. Here in Maryland sometimes it is slightly chilly when the sun starts to drop in spring, but I was surprised just how well the heat on your neck corrects that. With windows up, wind deflector up, and heat on you are totally warm with the top down even on the highway and it is quiet enough to speak with your passenger without yelling. He is correct about the trunk space, that was is huge lol. Truly beautiful cars. Great presentation.

      Yeah, totally agree with you, the bad quality buttons (together with the plastic air vents) really kill the whole experience, they are an unfortunate constant reminder that this car is not perfect. For someone willing to spend that insane amount of money in this car would mean nothing to throw a few more thousands to have better buttons and vents (maybe they should offer it as an extra). And the little space for the back seats.... I thought they would keep the space from the last Mercedes S class, I thought it was very convenient, but the way it is now it seems like a waste of space, energy and weight.

    The SL has for me, always defined MB. This is a fine evolution of the line for sure. Thomas..... How long is the wait for yours, obviously ordered in Thomas Blue. 😁 A decent run around for you, to the shops for milk and bread etc 🤭👍.
    Please continue calling out #capacitivecurse, fake exhaust and animal skin interiors. 👏

    My MX5 RF was anxious at the beginning but it still feels fine as I’m not into soft tops 😅

    Earlier, rumors spoke of a 2.0 four-cylinder engine (possibly a plug in hybrid). Will such an engine be available, especially in the EU?

    Surprisingly a lot of blatant cost cutting in MB recently. The seat controls and putting different buttons on one big movable surface is definitely not a good look. People notice this and MB seems to underestimate the customer's perceptions.

      audi already figured that out and they are coming back to (at least) some physical buttons.... and hopefully less gloss black sh t as well...

    I really liked the S class coupe and cabriolet. they were beautiful! Sad to see it being replaced by the new SL. I prefer bmw m8 over this one

    For some reason I feel like the design of sportier Mercedes has been worse since SLS production stopped.
    The AMG GT never matched it in visual design, and now this SL sort of looks a bit.. safe? Hard to describe.
    The rear end is nice and almost looks a bit like a boxster

    As ever, great review, Thomas. This new look has me a convert from Porsche, and took out an X3M Competition, and have a bit of a soft spot for BMW as well. But the 55 has me as a MB AMG convert too, cannot use the 63's extra power in New Mexico, and can buy a KTM 890 Duke for the difference. All-round, chicken dinner. :)

    Metal top makes the car SO much more usable for 4-season use. I have a 1998 SLK230 that still runs great and turns heads. Convertibles are cool, but cold in Winter.

    AMG taking over the entire SL project shows how serious Mercedes is about redesigning the SL. The first SL is the most iconic car in the history of Mercedes Benz and the rounded and simplistic design of this new SL is a throwback to the old SL design especially from the back. The lineup of AMG cars have a distinctive aggressive look to show the power of the car and this may not look like the old SL, but the new SL is not just a luxury car, it is also a fast sports car. Other than the improvement in the performance of the SL, the new SL has one of the most beautiful interiors in Mercedes Benz even though the haptic feedback buttons are not very well integrated. The combination of the S class, C class, and EQS interior brings the best of all three trims into one, which puts the new SL interior way ahead of the competition. The hardtop roof was a consumer favourite and sad to see it gone from the SL lineup, but the new soft-top roof saves a lot of storage in the trunk and provides a 2 + 2 seating for more practicality, not to mention the first SL roadster included a soft-top roof, again bringing the old design of the SL back in a new form. This new SL replaces the S class coupe, AMG GT roadster, and the old SL, which is a very good decision made by Mercedes, as the SL is no longer the middle child, and is now on the top of Mercedes lineup for the best luxury, fast sports car. Therefore, in my opinion, the new SL with a more simplistic design, more power, and a more luxurious interior, is a huge improvement over the last generation and a deserving replacement for the S class coupe and AMG GT roadster.
    P.S. The back of the new SL is very similar to a Porsche 911 and I will miss the legendary S class coupe design.
    Lmk what you think of the new SL
