My dad is deciding his everyday car. He wants the S coupe but I kinda want him to get the AMG GT S so he's considering that

thoughts?

911 C4S, with or without PDK

i think your a lieing cunt and fuck you

The S-Class Coupe is gorgeous and frankly, more luxurious than the AMG GT.

Why would you make him get a GT car with less room and a more harsh ride? WTF are you doing anon?
>>
>>14160647
The AMG GT is not as good of an everyday ride as the S-Class coupe, the ride will the harsher and it sits quite low.
>>
>>14160713
>>14160798
I sat in the S coupe and it just felt like a typical mercedes, the GTS felt like a supercar so my suggestion was kinda bias lol
>>
>>14160647
>everyday car

>>14160647

Your father is literally retarded if he goes with the s coup, its like 10 grand less, is slower and much worse

>Nice Porsha, bro
>>
does he want brand new or can he take lightly used (one year old, less than 10k miles), because he could get much more car than his budget would allow by doing that
>>
>>14160923
also does he want daily driving comfort or daily driving fun?
he'll never get bored of the amg gt s
>>
>>14160876
Or he could get an S65 AMG V12 which is not only faster but will cost less to maintain than an AMG GT.
>>
>>14160843
>S Coupe
>typical Mercedes

trolls general?
>>
>>14160995
>S65 AMG V12

>$130

is it 90 grand faster and more reliable..?
>>
>>14160997
he's had sl and cl class for years, i'm talking about wanting something a bit new, whereas s coupe feels identical to cl (since replaced cl) and even s class

amg gts feels a bit more original
>>
>>14161006
You're fucking stupid. The current S-Class sedan and Coupe are such an upgrade over literally everything, even everything in the previous Mercedes line-up.

The GT features the same exact tacked-on multimedia screen from the cheap-ass CLA for instance.
>>
>>14161024
You're so oblivious. When I sat in the S Coupe then the GTS the first thing I mentioned was the difference in the multimedia screens. GTS was so small and S coupe was huge.

But that's not the only aspect to a car you fuck. The center console on the GTS was absolutely insane. The push start in the center on the GTS felt like a supercar, vs the s coupe which has the exact same push button start as the CL and SL.
>>
>>14161049
lol.

The position of the push-button start makes the difference?

Get the fuck out.
>>
>>14160647
Is your father still banging that girl form marketing?
>>
>>14161084
sigh, not only is it the button start location, it's also the new 5 mode spinner include Race which is great fun, and 6 other buttons on center console including the badass looking gear changer

the center console is badass and your retarded

The S-Class is the penultimate interior on any mass-produced car at the moment.

If you disagree you simply lack taste.

If your father wants a comfortable ride and doesn't care about appearances, get the s class. If he wants a sporty car that looks better, is more rare, and has a second shorter 0-60 time get the gt

You'd be an idiot to get an s-class though if all you care about is comfort get a used 20k volkswagen phaeton

Its shit car, horribly unreliable, just go with the S class. Some kid at my school has one and it has been in the shop more than it has been on the road. (Motor mounts, starter issues, many problems with the wiring)

Not only does he understand how every component works together, he also has a fundamental understanding of the engineering and math behind an automobile.

that 550 will not make him any profit as it's not a desireable color.

should've gone with green or typical ferrari red.

and more importantly

>implying 550's are going up

>>14161457
He has the luxury of not being given slow cars to review.

Gee.

The AMG GTS is much more of a supercar than the S coupe. The S coupe is more of a grand tourer.

As a daily driver, either will work fine. I personally find the GTS more of an interesting car though.

Pic related, it's the AMG GTS at the dealership I work at.
>>
>>14161632
Have you taken a joyride in it?
>>
>>14161640
No. It hasn't even been PDI'd. The owner doesn't want anyone driving it. It's sitting in the showroom next to an S550 and a matte gray SL.
>>
>>14161651
You're too conservative dude

What are the real differences between the SL AMG, SLS AMG and AMG GT?

You work for a Merc dealership and no bread on hood?

Why?
>>
>>14161662
SL = cuck mobile, retarded segment, pig fat, can't turn
SLS = too tamed and refined, although good handling
GTS = more feedback, porsche tier handling

>>14161682
bread on hood is for pretending your dad's car is yours, not customers

As far as I know, the SL is a roadster variant between the S and E. The SLS AMG is a supercar, based entirely out of the hierarchy of the benz world. The AMG GTS seems to be a down sized variant of the SLS AMG.

>>14161717
Very. I'm not sure if the one we have is fully loaded though.
>>
>>14161735
You have to drive a car for 20-30 minutes for the PDI. Every car on a dealership lot aside from cars like the one anon posted which was bought before it arrived has been driven by a tech.
>>
>>14161444
You're right, they do depreciate a lot and all of his mercs have depreciated a shit ton.

We've looked at Ferraris and Lambos but he never really likes them. He thinks they're not practical, too showy, too low, etc

It's going to be brutty gud / 10 when someone goes to buy the GTS and there's some problem with it that would've been found with the PDI. Especially when parts take a week to come from Germany

>>14161808
How about an F-Type? Their interiors are great, a little cramped though. Sound amazing too. Pic related, it's an F-Type S that a couple (?) traded in for a F-Type R in a color combo they liked better.

>SLS
>tamed
No. It's a massive german muscle car.

SL = comfy, quick convertible for mid life crises.
SLS = muscle car that can handle. comfy but impractical packaging
GT/S = true sports car. light, nimble, lots of feedback. easy to live with on a daily basis and cheaper to produce than the sls.
>>
>>14162034
tamed meaning not enough feedback

>more space for your dad have sex with your mom

>All these people calling the SLS a super car
it's a road version of their GT3 series race car, you retards.

>Oh it's a muscle car that can handle
It's nothing like a muscle car. A muscle car is a cheaply modified family coupe with a huge engine dropped in the bay. It has good straight line acceleration but it peak grip happens at low speeds.

The SLS is neither cheap, nor does it have low-cornering speeds. It's a track monster capable of keeping up with 911s.
