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.
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 😂
Get yourself a nice F type instead of this.
Also, the audio sounds a bit muffled!
I’d rather the LC 500
This is NOT a Hybrid system! It is an electrical turbo build into the engine that gets powered by a 48V system!
From MBUSA.com:
“Handcrafted 2.0L Inline-4 turbo with hybrid assist Engine”
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
Just found this video, this is probably the ownly car I’d consider replacing my lc with
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.
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
Sure is pretty tho. Great review😊
How the mighty have fallen! No heart or soul anymore.
It was a sad experience. I want to sample the V8
@@GTGarageTalk May as well wait for the new GT55 or 63, both cheaper V8s than an SL63 😔
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 🤙🏾
Dont buy this Car. A lot of Problems with Elektrik and gears. If you will have a bad day buy an sl 43.
😊😃😁🙂👍👍🤜🤛
