The Mercedes-AMG GT is a series of 2-door sports cars produced by Mercedes-AMG. While not directly replacing the SLS AMG (competing in a different segment), it is the second sports car developed entirely in-house by Mercedes-AMG.

Reading some of the posts you'd swear this was BMW thread.The new G30 5 series is causing a lot of heartache.
Anyway I applaud MB for building all these cars and giving their customers choices. I do wish BMW were as "adventurous" as MB.

Though I do worry about the relevancy of the next CLS/CLE, this car is going to be stunning. I hope they give AMG freedom and $$$ to make a new interior also. Nothing but the basic screens should be present from the E/CLS. Mercedes can only split the pie so thin. They'll now have to sedans in between the E and S-Classes.

Given this car’s E-Class bones, you may be wondering where that leaves the similarly swoopy CLS. Word has it that the next CLS, which was also spied recently, will be lengthened and shifted more toward luxury in order to better position it between the E-Class and S-Class. The GT 4 will be the sportier option aimed directly at the Porsche Panamera.

Didn't we see a CLS63 AMG prototype?

What a lame use of the dislike function against Marcus, @klier
Also way to go misquoting! You have quoted me as saying something I clearly didn't!
My comment about the 5-series chassis tuning was obviously tongue in cheek, as clearly from the reviews they have put a lot of effort into making it the best riding and handling car in the class.

Oh this is hysterical.... but not in the good way... a dude that likes to load his comment canon with 'old' ratings, then wellies into pretty any Mercedes discussion firing it off at any other people that might not get so aroused by Mercedes as he does... and you're calling out Klier for poor use of the rating function??

So would this make the purported next-gen 4-door S coupe redundant?

Most probably, I never thought the 4-door S Coupe idea had any legs.

Things over at BMW are painstakingly boring right now and seeing arch-nemesis Mercedes create and develop so many exciting models has their panties in a bunch. Even Audi has a few exciting models sprinkled throughout their lineup despite the ongoing drama at VAG. That's most likely why they are so mad and bothered; honestly I would be too....but I'm not a BMW fan

Well that's not correct. If memory serves, he's been highly critical of Mercedes numerous times.

Please update on why BMW is painstakingly boring and behind Mercedes-Benz at the moment?
Please say you did not read that Bloomberg article because then you will know that the Mercedes EQ and Audi Q8 are not in production. So how can BMW be behind them when it is BMW who are leading the EV/PHEV premium segment?
Ideally BMW are in a prime position. The new 5er has just arrived and is redefining the benchmark as it always has done. And in the course of just under eighteen months there will be an all new BMW X3,X5 and more importantly a new benchmark in the guise of a new 3er amongst other niche and all new models. More importantly the core volume sellers are about to be replaced when Mercedes's equivalents will be entering mid-life.
I am sure the M8 Gran Coupe will be a formidable rival to the AMG 5dr Coupe just as the 8er Gran Coupe will be to the CLS.
Even in the standard M850i v's the "Warm" AMG model. One thing is absolute and that is probably the arrival of an AMG 5dr Coupe means that there will be no high performance version of the CLS just a warm version like the standard E-Coupe.
ME?
No, not you, I was calling into question why you'd defend Marcus against seemingly unjust ratings, given his typical rating style.
What.. one? that's "so many"?

TL;DR Figure it out. I honestly don't care about it. It's not my problem.
