Now where is that 911 brochure? Sorry if it seems harsh, but I always remember the Emperor's Coat and my wife does say that at times I am like a 12 year old boy.

on the contrary, in my eyes, it's the most natural -beefed up- evolution of the E86

Hoping (dreaming) my next car is one of these

Indeed. For some reason, they look quite 'normal' coupe in photo's.

In the metal, they look awesome. They certainly stand out in a queue of Hyundai's and vw's!

not liking the GTS i think you will be in a minority here , but then haven't you a "Polestar2" on order ?

... and an M5 Competition, don't forget that, Richard.

They're a lovely car, make thunder of a noise and I love the colour you have chosen....did you consider a few other cars in the same category? I'm shopping in the market at the moment and the Mclaren 570s for £100k is my front runner right now. I think that'll hit it's depreciation bottom at £80k, but I'd rule out the GTS as I worry like all AMG's it would keep falling to £40k like all other big Mercs do.

Also, I personally really dislike the naff ipad stuck on the dashboard, nothing will age a car faster than this type of tech. For similar money the current gen R8, 570 and 911's do a much better job of integrating this and will age a lot better as a result.

I'd agree with the latter - this and the f-type have to be at the top of the list of the natural choices when moving on from the E86.

Photos never seem to do them justice but they're very nice - great choice

AMG GTS, is definitely one of the cars on my bucket list. I feel like the e89 represents the amg gts more than the slk to be honest. Its a beaut of a machine would love to get on ownership one day

I've loved these since they first come out. I think its a better car than the California. Good choice

Thanks for the comments everyone. It's good to know you like it! I've still not had much time to drive it properly, but I'm getting to grips with it. I need to get used to the power, as it likes to spin the rear wheels a lot! Went to overtake a van the other day, hot weather, warm tyres, dropped it a couple of gears and planted the throttle and the overtake was more of a powerslide!

It certainly does resemble the E86 couple shape, but a little bigger and chunkier. It's a similar design.
