Man, those controls look really busy. I tend to agree with your assessment of this car, but there are some positives: 1. Great exterior color 2. Expressive interior color 3. Not an SUV

#3 especially.
This is NOT a Hybrid system! It is an electrical turbo build into the engine that gets powered by a 48V system!

From MBUSA.com: “Handcrafted 2.0L Inline-4 turbo with hybrid assist Engine”
Thanks for the balanced review! I blame Tesla for loss of chunky tactile controls operable by muscle memory, now metastatic across the industry. Mercedes should know better on top control, climate, and volume knob. A good switch or knob inspires confidence and bonds you to the car. A screen…is modal and gets smudges.

Cause screen protector and ceramic coating doesn’t exist 😂
Get yourself a nice F type instead of this. Also, the audio sounds a bit muffled!

I’d rather the LC 500
its very simple.. you have an 63 and a 55 with a v8.. this 43 is pure for the european market where gas prices and taxes on big engines are way to high
Sure is pretty tho. Great review😊
Just found this video, this is probably the ownly car I’d consider replacing my lc with

Don't do it. Loved the LC more... though I have not sampled the SL 55 or SL 63 with the V8 which I do love.

I ownly picked up my LC last year so I wont be looking to change for a year or 2. Going by your video quality of the Merc may be a concern@@GTGarageTalk
How the mighty have fallen! No heart or soul anymore.

@@GTGarageTalk May as well wait for the new GT55 or 63, both cheaper V8s than an SL63 😔
Garbage for that price longevity maybe 5years then problems begin I would go for the Lexus LC 500Limited-Edition Inspiration Series only 125 units built plus starting price $112,000 to $125,000 no brainer built to last also resale 🤙🏾
Dont buy this Car. A lot of Problems with Elektrik and gears. If you will have a bad day buy an sl 43.
😊😃😁🙂👍👍🤜🤛
