    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.

    Dont buy this Car. A lot of Problems with Elektrik and gears. If you will have a bad day buy an sl 43.

  • @mss531
    @mss531 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    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

      Yes But we are not in Europe !

    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 😂

    It is puzzling to me why they did not put the electrified inline 6 engine that's been around for light years one of the best engines on the planet the car is too heavy for that 4cl period

    • @GTGarageTalk
      @GTGarageTalk  6 วันที่ผ่านมา

      I am puzzled by that as well. This engine just was not up to the task.

    Get yourself a nice F type instead of this.
    Also, the audio sounds a bit muffled!

      I’d rather the LC 500

    Just found this video, this is probably the ownly car I’d consider replacing my lc with

    • @GTGarageTalk
      @GTGarageTalk  7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      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.

    • @CarsofGlasgow
      @CarsofGlasgow 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      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

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

    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 🤙🏾

      @@GTGarageTalk May as well wait for the new GT55 or 63, both cheaper V8s than an SL63 😔
