No physical button for the roof is crazy

[jonathanbush]

Thanks Thomas. A great review of a beautiful car. I haven’t been a big fan of more recent Mercedes designs, but this one looks instantly iconic. And you know you’re not on the German autobahn when you see a pickup truck in the side view mirror!

[PetrolBeast]

The SL was never intended as a 911 rival. It stands in a class of it’s own 👌

[LawrenceMarkFearon]

Very good review. I feel like your honesty came through regardless of the effort flying thousands of miles coming to LA. One of the few reviewers with a solid working experience driving every generation SL. So your impression matters to actual SL drivers. Thomas and crew are always FIRST online and worldwide. Danke shön mein Herren.

[James_H]

Can’t stop watching your car reviews Thomas.You made my last week so special!
Thanks Autogefühl

I think the sound you heard was a safety measure from the sound system. The car thought you were going to crash and to reduce hearing damage (loud crash) it plays a sound which causes the insides of the ear to contract. Because of the contraction it lets less sound in and reduces the possibility of getting deaf.

[kramerzoid]

Great review as always. Love the way things are honestly explained and tested. There are a lot of channels on car reviews but none like this. Congratulations. The car in this video also helps. It`s amazing. A big evolution on the SL.

[elmeme]

The "plenty of headroom" joke was hilarious and unexpected. Well done!

[pramey]

you are my favourite car review guy on youtube. the best in business and so cool

[Classicman.]

When you peeled out of the parking lot and heard that noise, that's Presafe Sound!!! It activates to protect your ears from the sound of impact when crashing if the vehicle thinks it's about to get into an accident; super cool.

[Desert_Rogue_Tanker]

you know you screwed up when a fellow german says that this feature is redundant and cumbersome🤣🤣.i love your reviews thomas.please keep up the good work and have a prosperous and happy new year😃

[lukasvilanovic]

That sound you heard is because it protect your ear drums.
When the car thinks it will go into a accident, that sound is produced in case of a crash and helping you not to loose hearing after. Something like noise cancellation in case of accident.

[ismalinkin]

Good work Thomas, not even the rain can stop you

[ArkadiaII]

Oh my god! you activated the "You're about to crash", white noise, ear preparation noise from the Pre-Safe package! I've never heard it before. you must have done quite a launch!

[thamingwenya]

AGAIN.Thomas really is reliable for reviews. I'm glad I came here i'm glad I'm subscribed! Great content man Keep up the good work!
My eye literally lit Up when I saw your face and that headliner! :X

[mchockney]

Thank you for that final verdict! Even if they ultimately had to change direction to bring the non-existing sales up again, this has become just another AMG. The SL had been in a class of it`s own as an elegant cross-continent land-yacht, with the added 365 day practicability of the hardtop and a proper boot. And also, to this day I haven't come across a digital tochscreen solution in a car, that would be more ergonomical and user-friendly than a simple dial or button to push.

[masterrazvan]

Hi, I've never seen a new and impressive 2021 adventure and I love the new 2022 adventures the new Mercedes AMG SL 63 test drive in California was really cool!

[Hercegovac.]

Master Piece car💪
Stunning review 🇺🇸🇩🇪

[sorenklausbo]

Thanks for another great, and most of all, honest revue. As a big fan of r107 models, I agree with your verdict. But I also respect the opinion of it to be more sporty like its roots with the 300SL. I guess it is a matter of what type of car you prefer really. Personally I had hoped for more Mercedes-Benz Classic, and less AMG. Not all Mercedes-Benz have to be aggressive looking. Don't forget elegance!
