And if it is at that price point, the M8 Gran Coupe (if it happens) would be a better comparison and the M8 will look much better in my opinion

Only ugly IMHO (I had 2 RS7's)- the RS7 was an eye catching sport back. You should read some of the comments over at the Benz Forum about this car where one would expect a more positive review. Its not great.

According to the Carwow guy, this AMG GT weighs 200 kg or 440 lbs more than the E63s and we know the E63s is 55 lbs heavier than the F90 M5. Um...yeah, our issues of obesity in the U.S. have made their way to Stuttgart. I think the F90 M5 is safe.

It's not that much heavier. In reality it's between 4,500 and 4,600lbs. Slightly heavier than the E63S. Yeah it's heavy. No it's not faster than the F90 M5. The F90 M5 is still the true athlete here, but this GT63S is really something special. Besides, Mercedes are always heavy. Lol!

I just watched both of these videos in their entirety. Man, I gotta say I'm in love with this car. Yes it's heavy but man that rear wheel steering makes a huge difference to the agility of the car. That blue one with the chrome bits on it, just looks so incredible to me. I think I will own one of these one day. About the only thing I think is missing from the GT63S is a rear entertainment video system like BMW has, unless you just can't get that with the AMG sports seats or something. I dunno. Gotta keep the kiddos occupied in the back haha! But man, the shape of the car and its lines and the fact that it's a hatchback with actual utility, what a car! I'm in love!
