I’d lease the Benz but buy the Porsche because of this thing called resale value
If you are a cross shopping between this and the 911 and don't buy the 911, we cannot be friends.
This is one of the best car videos ever!
Can you please never say that. Better than porsche 🤣🤣🤣. Are you serious?
Lol 911 is something else
in this category, 911 sets the standards and others try to compete knowing that they will fail… SL looks goods inside and out but I think Mercedes has lost its mind setting a price of a 911 GTS for this car… it is not even in 911 S performans level… in my opinion, to be able to attractive against 911 Mercedes should be faster and still cheaper. Otherwise 911 is the car…
Merc is looking great and with AMG tech just right luxury sportcar without being too penalizing on comfort. 911 is classic sport car, different and not comparable IMHO.
NOTHING is better than a 911
It's certainly better looking than the Beetle, er, 911 – in terms of performance and driving feel when racing though, the hopped up Beetle is tough to beat
That was a good episode!
She's off base here, 911 vs sl 55 what an off comparison…
beautiful woman! 😍🌹💐
So I read the guidelines, Does anyone else not like to listen to women talking about cars? My opinion, I can’t stand females talking about cars and posting next to them like it’s about them and not the car…
This does not brake any of your guidelines…
Thanks
Competes in the same price bracket I guess, but this FEELS more like a 718 rival. AMG GT would be the more legitimate 911 competitor.
don't take this the wrong way but where is Rory at he is my absolute most favorite car reviewer and car history storyteller of all time!!??
Lovely car but still 911 turbo S is my favorite sport car.
I’m surprised that the Sl 63 is available here in the US but not in the UK🤔
Newcastle and Sunderland Darby lol
This is NOT an SL.
This whole video just feels pointless to be fair your arguing a hopeless battle says a mid car that shouldn’t have an Amg badge is just as good or better than a 911 this car doesn’t touch Porsche but this video is a joke
Compare the 911 with an amg gtr or gt black series not a sl lol
There’s no comparison, the 911 is a sports car, the SL is a cruiser. Not even on the same league. 😐
911 is in a league of it's own. Everything else is just a matter of taste.
SL STANDS FOR——> Super Leicht
sl63 amg in canada is the price of a 911 turbo so no thanks i stay with porsche
Other than price and seating configuration, the two cars mentioned have nothing in common. If you bought this, you were never a 911 candidate.
Love Alex. She's awesome.
