That new grill looks like a resemblance of the more classic grills

Is that "The Riddler" from the tv show "Gotham"? 😋

Hi, Just a quick question, did you play Jason from Home improvement in the 90's? You know Brads friend. You sound identical to him and also look like him too.

[DanielSadjadian]

So they made a coupe version of a convertible version of a coupe car.

Porche from the back and Jag in the front.

That grill is a bit much I like the older one

[MetikalMan]

Sure would annoy me if I just threw down for an AMG GT-R.
What is the "C" supposed to stand for anyway? Because of this AMG should really add a few hp to the GT-R. I nice round 600 ought to do it.

[aviraltube]

i like the way He spells A - M -G. G-T C

[tirtakowanda]

waiting for gta, gtb, gtd, gtf, gtx, gtz and so on

[brauss]

my civic is just nicer and comes with manual shift, but that paint job tho... *drooling*

[AGC]

So why make the C "limited edition making only 50 couples and 50 convertibles? All they did was add another 40 odd HP up the torque slightly. Add "active rear wheel steering" like the GT-R. Not on the GT-S. Might as well make it a regular part of the AMG GT line-up. Or there should have been a few features specific to the LTD ED C cars. Something special. Unique.

putting yellow on a benz is very ugly, they should only use dark colours

[malachigaines]

So the gt is like a stingray the gts is like a z51 package stingray the gtc is like a z06 and the gtr is like a zr1. Got it

[doctorofspiritualnomics]

Craig looking more dapper than usual. New GF?
