Yeah that's kind of the way I'm feeling currently. I've always been more of a BMW guy I've always felt like AMG Mercedes just had a lot of high horsepower made a lot of tires smoke but couldn't drive well. Also to be honest I've never really been a fan of the the way some Mercedes looked. But the AMG GT I am a fan of every version and the other poster is right they did depreciate hard within the first few years so you can pick one up for fairly cheap now. 🤔

Auto brands rise and fall over time, but Mercedes is at one of those high points compared to their competitors. As much as I love the BMW of old, AMG is just on a whole different level in recent years.

The 2018 or 2019 GTC is the one to get. No touchpad, louder exhaust with proper Sport+ backfires (that’s gone now), and the much nicer “v8” dials on the center console. Europe and Canada are 2 markets that don’t get the touchpad. I’m sure it’s easy to swap the touchpad for the rotary dial; but again I prefer the older setup which has both a touchpad and a rotary dial.

In 2016 I drove a 911 GTS, Cayman GTS, Corvette Z06 and an AMG GTS. While the Porsches are likely the more "approachable" cars in terms of extracting their full potential on the street, the AMG was the only car I couldn't stop thinking about after I drove it. The Corvette was a strong performer, in the way a madam can make squeal. However the AMG is the entire "bring home to mom" package. It has exotic "park it up front" looks, an interior that oozes opulence like the Ritz-Carlton, and the engine note is entertaining without being overtly obnoxious or understated. Outside of a very loose exterior comparison to the Viper, there's really nothing on the road like it. The AMG GT series cars a truly stunning in person; in every way.

You can literally control everything on the command screen from the thumb pad on the right side of the steering wheel which is fantastic.

Great review, but as far the touch pad is concerned, you can use the touch pad on the steering wheel as well to operate the radio. I thought it was going to be a dealer breaker too, but in driving I think having the touch screen for the driver to operate to be awkward. I was able to use the scroll on the steering well easily. I feel that having a touch screen would be more useful for the passenger to have access to the screen to make changes. Wonderful review and video!!!
