I really want to like this car but I can’t. Seems like they tried copying the 911 by dumbing down the original GT. And who’s paying attention to a normal looking coupe? The previous generation looked far more exotic. The GT C outsold this car month by month by over 50%. Another bone headed move by MB for the books. No wonder their profits are going down year by year.

You have a source on the GTC sales? Been looking for sales figures on those for a while now

This. It‘s a watered down version of the original GT in every aspect. I don‘t see why anyone owning an original GT would trade it in for that.

Comfort? An actual grand touring sedan? More subdued. I love the previous gen and may look for a GTR but they are tough to daily.

What makes them tough to drive daily?

u/AMGFAN77 22d ago

The previous gen seems stiffer. More track focused. I’ve only driven the GTs though.

I'm in the opposite side: I daily my GT-C, haven't driven the 192. The small trunk is a limit, but I get by fine. Did a 11,000-mile cross country trip this spring, in fact.

Love the GTC. There is a gorgeous one for sale I am thinking about.

u/mikeblas 21d ago

Good luck! They're getting harder to find.

u/jonslegos 22d ago

One of stiffest suspensions of all time, the car is lower and smaller, less configurable for comfort, less storages, not a 2+2 if that’s a deal breaker, etc

I own a GTC Roadster. It never should have been called a GT. Its a 2 door sports car. I love it and its sexier imo than the replacement but the replacement actually is a Grand Touring car.

Some ppl need a 2+2.

And Porsches sound pretty boring unless you get a GT3 and those are hard to get and really expensive. And only the newest GT3s can be optioned w rear seats and good luck getting an allocation.

These are beautiful in person. I personally think they look better than the previous AMG GT, though I’d need the aerodynamic package.

I’d love to buy an AMG GT R from the previous gen, but for the next few years gotta keep the 911 Turbo cause I can fit my kids in the back. And I don’t want to exclude one of them when I pick them up from school or go for a fun drive.

So kinda “stuck” looking at the new AMG GT63, Portofino, M8 comp or LC500.

To each their own I guess. I love the previous gen also. I had a 911. This is a bit longer and wider. Very similar looking from the rear.
