can you stop selling Keeps, your hair is not keeping at all, if any viewer has hair loss problem, they should go see an actual doctor, and doctor will give them prescription
You should consider a sponsor that is not total bullsh. Maybe you're just scamming people out of ignorance, but there is simply no way to stop hair loss for men.
If someone makes at least $130K anually or more, they can afford this car. Someone making less, wouldn't necessarily be poor. But, it would be an horrible investment.
only way a 130k salary earner would be able to afford this, is if they cut out all other hobbies, have no debt, gf, children, and live extremely cheaply.
imagine spending $106,000 on a new AMG and you're not reaching 60mph any quicker than an A4. I get it's not all about numbers, but that performance is pretty terrible for how much that thing costs.

@@AllEyezOnMeAA I honestly think the 43 its still worth the money..just not for ppl that want to go fast or like power.. but the luxury of it is def up to par….in my opinion

I don't get the silver hate. I love silver on sporty cars. It's such a classic color that just looks elegant, especially with a bold interior color scheme like this.
I agree it sits in an odd place for me. If I want luxury they have other models that are equally quick, and if I want straight speed, well they do better for less too.
it’s not a dodge challenger lolll you buy it for comfort and handling, not only the speed. Besides, you can always go for a higher trim level; this is just the “cheapest” one
@@RandomVideos-re9ux I'm saying other Mercedes models with equal comfort just seem like a better buy than the lower trim. I know there are higher trims but the lowest seems like a waste over other options even from Mercedes. That's all I mean, I understand a shitbox that can drag race is much different than this car lol
6:46 It has frameless windows on the doors yet still has a solid B pillar and the rear doors have that huge glass on the end. Bad design in my opinion.
@@TheExotich1 Fine compare the 850i that still does 0-60 in 3.5 seconds so still doesn't make sense. This AMG should not exist, it could be a gt 43 but take off that AMG badge.
Thanks Sofyan, great review as always. Comprehensive and full of personal input 👍this is one of my all time favourite and best looking on the street, now finally close to my price range. Can’t wait to give it a test drive.
7:23 I believe the editor forgot to add the recording of exhaust sounds? I really to hear it up-close tho. Is Amg performance exhaust standard on this?
@@RandomVideos-re9ux I don't think so, I think it's in the same league at this point, even ahead dare I'd say. Rolls Royce hasn't really done anything innovative, they've stuck with same old boxy sedan for 20 years now. Bentley actually just added luminescence in their interiors, ghee I wonder who they got the idea from.
100k and can't fold down seats, no heated rest seats, sunroof doesn't open, no heated steering wheel and almost 5 second 0 to 60. It's like Mercedes really doesn't think there are other cars that exist
At first the performance kinda of disappoints me for the price, but it does seemingly fit nice with its competition. The Panamera 4, BMW 840i GC, and Maserati Ghibli S seem like the performance level Mercedes targeted and it seems to fit in well with these cars.
Maserati Ghibli S fail's in terms on reliability and overall tech / interior / exterior design. They sadly have made no real effort to up their lineup progress
Mercedes really does do great interiors. They have come a long way back when they used to include telephone keypads on their infotainment. Ambient lighting is by far the best. Cant help but compare the new IS500 interior to these newer German rivals. But man, that 5.0 ..
LOL, what an overpriced turd this thing is. I thought the new Acura TLX Type S had disappointing performance for the price, but this is even worse for nearly double the money.
I was never a car person, always into motorcycles, but I just saw this type somewhere and it’s drop dead gorgeous 😍 I think I’ll start working a little harder now 😂
Holy cow that price and the further watering down of the AMG brand. This car is absolutely ridiculous cost for a fastback E class. I can’t believe Sofyan is letting this slide through.
Looks beautiful but not a fan of huge cars with smallish interiors. I'd probably just go for a AMG C43 Coupe which also looks great IMO. Btw, is there a coupe in the new C Class generation?
stinger and GT 4door are not comparable, because the stinger is just a plain performance car while GT also focuses on luxury as well. they are of different categories and for different groups of people
Yea..but you have to think..they had to make a bigger vehicle thats still under $100k. Most AMGs under $100k arent that big. And some ppl just dont like small vehicles.
@@ESMorg that's true, but the cls53 and e53/43 are all under 100k and are about the same size as the gt 4-doors. From a sales POV, this car certainly isn't a bad idea, but speaking as an enthusiast, AMG's only in-house sedan should've been made exclusively with the v8
I don’t get this car to be honest. A C43 AMG puts out more horsepower and torque and has a quicker 0-60 time at 4.3 seconds vs this 4.8. Why spend the extra $30-$40K for this?
Sorry but 100-120k for the base AMG is NOT affordable and dealer markups make it worse. Car is nice but felt underpowered compared to my M3 that cost way less. I would wait for the GT 63 AMG to arrive with turbo V8 and car shortage to end and used one to show up for discount.
Why does this review say it is a 2022 model when he says in the video it’s a 2021? I believe Mercedes is refreshing this model for 2022 and I don’t think they are even out yet. Which is it?
