I don't care about the price, brilliant blue magno is DROP DEAD GORGEOUS!
With the sunglasses and that particular shirt and the roof off, the car suits you quite a bit
for this blue, the best combination is the brown/beige interior. I have a 2020 c43AMG with brilliant blue and brown interior and is magnificent!!, Santa Maria Madre de Dios!! :D
Once again great video. this is the best review I have seen on this car. Based on these reviews, I have changed my mind on what to buy. - thanks
It’s a great looking vehicle particularly in the blue 👍
I think this is the old proverb...
Give a man a Mercedes convertible he will feel great for the day.
Give a man a Mercedes convertible in Brilliant Blue Magno he will feel great for a lifetime.
Confucius, i guess?
@@hazardeur lol not every comment is a winner.
Agreed on the interior. This color needs a more couragious twotone choice. Something a litte bolder that pops like the blue does. Did you have a chance to drive the new AMG EQS yet?
That engine sounds delicious! 🫦
I hear your wish list is coming true and will be an AMG 73 that should be good for 800 Hp.
The blue is magnificent!!! The internal is the same with the pre facelift but the facelift looks much better. This look works with the AMG models but not the normal E class.
This car is drop dead gorgeous
Love this car. Too bad Mercedes is dropping their entire convertible lineup except for the new SL class.
Better get me one before they go!!!
Have you heard about the CLE? I’m watching for news, might be my next Merc convertible
Motoman, are you having more fun in this or a Miata? Just in terms of driving dynamics.
Don't the current GLE63s/63s Coupe, GLS63 and GT63s also have that 48V systems?
And the upcoming V8 hybrid 73 series will have over 820 Horse power in boost mode.
To be totally clear, when you say this has no accessory drive, do you mean these 48-volt starter motor systems don't have a traditional alternator?
It feels like you review the E class every other week. Doesn’t mean I’m not going to watch it
That Brilliant Blue Magno is “Brilliant” on this Cabriolet. The instant torque from the electrification is impressive. For this price point though I would have trouble deciding between this and the LC500 Convertible. I feel like the resale and future collectibility of the latter would push me toward it. However, the instant torque of this AMG makes the decision a little more difficult.
The V8 in the LC is very highly regarded though, more than this engine actually. Resale is tricky, but neither of these cars are collectibles.
As with most Mercs, the drive train and technology is first rate. However, the E53 that is actually attractive is the Coupe version. This convertible's appearance suffers from awkward proportions. For $105K, I much prefer the gorgeous Lexus LC500 convertible.
The AMG GT Roadster is the truly attractive convertible in Mercedes' lineup. Of course is almost $80K more, out the door. Thanks Motoman.
Hey Motoman, would you be ok living with a 53 instead of a 63? If you were trying to save some money but still have a lot of fun...
Absolutely!
Ja bitte - IT it liek Mr Ford Henery the First said. They can have any colour they want as long as its black.> Im thinking a nice Buckskin tan or Creme w white or red trim. Navy blues ok
Thanks! Was shopping between this and the M850 convertible. BMW is $25k more but the lease on M850 is better than a $103k E53. So the payment on M850 is less than AMG.
Issues with E53 conv:
White & red nappa leather is $5k option and production is delayed by 3 months more
No V8
Horrible exterior color choices - where are the fun colors? Grey/white/black and this matt blue are just saturated
Interior choices all black except $5k Nappa option
Issues with M850 conv:
Rear seat is only for small kids
Cabin Noise is more than E53
No massage seats
Yes, the only non-black interior option is this red-beige nappa, and it doesn't quite match the matt blue. Basically if you want light interior, the only possible exterior is red rubellite, all other combinations are illegal or boring.
Same here
This content is waaay better than the vehicle!!!
Another nice merc no doubt, but at that price and the fact that a chopped off roof is already heavy then to make it heavier as a hybrid. No, and no again. Let's no be fooled the driving dynamics are not gonna go down well when the novelty wears off. If you can afford 100g's just get the real things and forget all this environmental crap.
Nice car! Not my type but pleasant enough. Am in partial agreement about the colors. I don't like matte or "satin" finished colors. Gloss, please. And given what we're pulling ourselves through, my mood craves lighter, more cheerful environments including a car interior. No gloomy black, thank you very much.
Is this better than the S63 cabriolet?
I think I’d take an Audi rs5 cabrio with the V8, i still love this car tho.
An RS5 cabrio unfortunately doesn’t exist.

Great call regarding the interior. Unfortunately, the interior options for this car are terrible with only 1 non-black option. As configured, this car is in shouting distance of the LC500 and, at those prices, the LC is just better. This car is very hard to justify over 100K. It shouldn't exceed low 90s, and they really need to fix the packaging. The interior colors alone kill it for me.
It's still mind blowing to me that people in North America are really considering a posh Toyota as true alternative to a German luxury sports car.. I think the trauma of the low quality American cars in the past left a big hole in the car culture there and it created a myth that still lives on today. The majority of the population on this planet will laugh in tears when somebody will compare a Benz with a To..Lexus. Even the old rich grandma going for a slow shopping session at Aldi :)) As for sporty driving.. performance and Lexus have the same connection like a hippopotamus and ballet. Not to mention what they call.oh well.. "design".
Detuned 4L biturbo for that type of coin. E580 coupe. Plenty room for new SL coupe
Not sure why anyone would buy this over a LC 500 convertible or better yet over a certified 991.2 Cabriolet? I sure wouldn’t.
EXACTLY
He should have got a snow white car with polar bear white interior...so he doesn't over complain about the black interior...
$100k? Nope
Couldn’t resit could ya? Lol that flipping ugly color is back again. kumoooooooo!
Only problem with these is that it's a fake AMG
It is not a full blown AMG but it is a AMG. What makes this a AMG is that it will beat most cars on the road and it handles the road well. As a bonus it gets good gas mileage. It is a AMG Lite.
