I might be crazy or irrational but I’ve been looking at SL55 AMG and AMG GT for the past two weeks!!
I’ve always bought Lexus and the LC500 was my 7th Lexus purchase. Reliability and maintenance cost are the reasons why I bought them. However, I’ve been thinking. Do I actually care for that anymore when I barely drive that much to make it a factor. The Lexus that I had the most mileage was 84k miles before I traded in. My current RX has 60k miles and we’re ready to let that go once RX550H+ comes back with a V6. My LS sitting at 38k and LC500 at 4.6k miles.
I rarely see AMG GT here also. Mostly Porsches. That MB roadster looks is growing on me.

You aren't crazy. This MB series was my go-to-want, but the AMG SL 43 when I began my search. The MB's above the 43 were above my price comfort zone, but doable. I've driven Toyotas since 2006 and did not know the LC existed when I took the path to purchase of the LC. Absolutely no regrets. There is greener grass always though. Your satisfaction is all that matters.

Mine is the previous generation AMG GT S, and I have owned it for 8+ years now, only have 28000 Km on it, but I never had any issues with it, except for the 2 occasions I had to bring it back for pre-emptive recalls.
I know the early builds of the current SL had problems, I went to look at them when they first came out a couple years ago at a dealership, they have a few there, but the salesman told me they can't sell them because Mercedes already issued recalls for the model, so they have to fix them first LOL.
The previous generation AMG GT's also had a lot of issues with their early builds, it usually took them some time to solve them, but mine is a late second year model and has been problem free so far.

I was cross shopping the AMG GT with the LC before I bought. If they had offered it 2+2 in the previous generation I likely would not be here with my LC, but alas they did not. And I dislike the new body style where it is offered vs the previous Gen, so LC it is!
