    2019 Mercedes-AMG GT Four-Door To Begin $137,495*

      The more powerful GT S is about $22,000 more expensive


    Mercedes-Benz has announced pricing for most of the upcoming AMG GT four-door expected to arrive in the first half of next year. The GT 63 will set you back $137,495, while the more powerful GT 63 S begins at $159,995. Both prices include a $995 destination charge.

    The 63 means a twin-turbo 4.4L V8 resides under the hood. The standard GT 63 produces 577 horsepower and 590 pound-feet of torque. Move up to the S and the V8 pumps out 630 horsepower and 664 pound-feet of torque. Both models come paired with a nine-speed automatic and 4Matic all-wheel drive.

    It's clear that Mercedes is aiming the GT four-door at the likes of the Porsche Panamera Turbo and Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid.

    • Panamera Turbo: 550 horsepower and 567 pound-feet, $151,500
    • Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid: 680 horsepower and 626 pound-feet, $186,200

    The only model Mercedes hasn't announced pricing for is the GT 53. This model pairs a 3.0L twin-turbo inline-six engine with a mild-hybrid system to produce a total output of 429 horsepower and 384 pound-feet. That will be revealed at a later date.

    Seems reasonable, it is faster than an E63, so it should cost more than that, and it is the fastest 4-door car ever around the Nurburgring.   Priced similar to an S63 which isn't quite as fast but is more luxurious.  And cheaper than a Panamera, which is an ugly car.

    This Mercedes is not that much better. 

    Not as ugly, but not far from Panamera ugliness. 

    Between the two?

    Ill think Ill pass...

    The Porsche Taycan however, would be something Id consider.  If you wanted me to choose an ICE vehicle from Europe. Id go for a Maserati GrandTurismo. About the same price, slower, not as roomy...oh but that sound that V8 makes...and you got to admit, the GrandTurismo is sexier that all of them, Taycan included!

    Except the Mercedes and Porsche will work, while the Maserati will break down all the time.  The Gran Turismo is also a 2 door car and slower 0-60 than a C43, yikes!

    Im not so sure the Mercedes will work either.

    The Porsche. Most likely. Maybe.  The  Panamera aint exactly a 911...

    Sure, the GrandTurismo is slow.  But the sound it makes.  Nothing short of a Hellcat/Demon V8 does that Ferrari engineered V8 make me drool more than any other modern V8. The Voodoo V8 from Ford is a close 3rd place. 

    I just got another speeding ticket a week ago.  And I was  driving the wife's 1.6 liter ecoboosted Fusion...not even my Acura TL.  The Maserati is fast enough I think. 

    I do not think Ill ever invest in a 100 000 dollar vehicle.  Maybe on a 1970 restomodded and protoured 1970 Olds 442 one day or a numbers matching one. Maybe...

    • I am STILL waiting for everybody and his brother to pull a "Im NEVER gonna drive a piece of shyte Toyota ever again"  like they did with GM, Ford and Chrysler.  But then again, Americans DID vote for Trump a SECOND time.... And Canadians WILL vote for Polievre...  Im asking too much.
    • I didnt click on @A Horse With No Name facebook link because: 1. Facebook. I try to avoid Facebook as much as possible. Not hard to do anymore. Hope it dies sson though. I digress. Ill save THAT rant for another day. I think Ill start another Toyota hatred rant in the coming days instead... 2. I sooooo much hate Toyota, that I cant even bring myself to celebrate over Toyota problem stories because of the hatred being soooooo strong that even I try to avoid ANYTHING Toyota related.   (I do like some vehicles they produce as a disclaimer) But...I did listen to this one   Alls I got to say is...Toyota NEVER even HAD that reliabilty thing EVEN in the 1990s as that video is saying as the engine sludge thing HAPPENED in the late 1990s.  And even THEN, Toyota blamed the consumer...  So blaming the consumer is NOTHING new to Toyota. But the video is bang on!!! And as I was youtubing googling Toyota to retrieve that video above...I ran into Scotty Kilmore.   And he JUST released this video     Not gonna watch these videos, so I do NOT know of he has a clickbait title, but even Scotty has just acknowledged Toyota boo boos.    I have watched Scotty like 4 or 5 videos 5 years ago or something like that.  But Ill repeat, Toyota NEVER had this mythical relkiabilty thing. Some cars were built like tanks from them. Some cars are STILL built like gtanks from them. But they have had they SAME amount, but probably MORE shytty cars failing then any OTHER OEM...   But hey...  The Toyota kool-aid was some delicious shyte back in the day. Glad I NEVER drank it though.  But if Scotty is TRULY dissing Toyota's reliability, it MUST be a very REAL thing. But it ALWAYS HAD been a thing.  Oh well...
    • @G. David Felt  is such a lazy ass bum, isnt he? He sleeps all day that  &@#%*!@$  bum!!!       We arent supposed to speak about Toyota problems.  You'll be called an @$$hole, be questioned of your ancestry and citizenship...   
    • Heal up quickly!  What'd you have surgery for?
