Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door: An Inflated GT or a Sportier CLS?

[cartrucks]

The front- CLS
The middle- Porsche Panamera
The rear- Jaguar XF

I want to know who were the high profile customers, that kept saying, "Me and my millionaire friends, would buy AMG GTs. If only it had 4 doors.".

I think it's more a case of the Merc board sat round mulling over what they can do, now they've diluted the AMG brand with 35 separate AMG models, to make the CLS a bit more special.

From that angle, it looks worse than the 928 4-door.

Umm...say, you know... from this angle, in white, it looks alright.

Entry level Mercedes-AMG GT 43 makes its debut with opinion-dividing retro wheels

I'm not sure the red paint is doing it any favours, though picturing this in black creates a menacing proposition.

 

[Joey D]

Those wheels are awesome.

Those wheels are awesome.

I agree. They might be pandering to 80s/90s nostalgia...but I'm ok with that.

 

[CSMDuty11]

Those wheels could actually work pretty well.

...Just not on this, the styling of the car itself is a bit too round for those.

 

[SlipZtrEm]

Still a fatty, but those wheels are cool. Hopefully they spread to other models...

 

[05XR8]

AMG should start color matching those wheels.

 

[TheCracker]

They'd look better in silver. Surely black, especially matt or satin black, for wheels is a bit dated now?

 

[SlipZtrEm]

Can we treat this as confirmation or nah?

 

[Vandelay]

Why.

Those wheels need to be on an SLS.

As usual, when others find cars hideous, I find them rather appealing. Especially the dark red with the retro black-ish wheels.

Don't get me wrong, the wheels are perfect. MB needs to have them on every car they make.

Somebody please put these on a widebody 190E. I'm sure Hoonigan will do something with them by tomorrow.

I don't know how Porsche can claim it, since Lotus used it first on the Esprit?

Probably for the exact same legal reasons some idiots can trademark “UGG” as a sheepskin boot brand, when this word has been used for decades to describe boots made out of sheepskin.

Does it seem to you guys like Mercedes is having trouble creating a rear end that is actually appealing? Their cars have a weird termination to them recently. 10-20 years ago they seemed to be able to sculpt a backside.

How someone (me) can change his mind. I don't like this car anymore.
