It may compete in price and market segment, but I will be very surprised if it is able to compete in performance and driving dynamics. Mercedes already tried this with their AMG GT car and it was decent but still no 911. I'm guessing the next gen 6 series will be more apt as an AMG GT competitor.

Ok so correct me if I'm wrong, and help fill in the gaps:

S=7
S Coupe=_____
E=5
C=3
CLA=2
ML=X
GL=X8 (when they decide to make one)
SL=_____
CLS=_____
AMG GT=______

you mean the 4 series? i dont know why people think the 6 will be smaller than the 4 series.

right now the 4 series has a 2in shorter wheelbase than the 6er. If anything the z5 will maybe get a hardtop and be the next 6 series if they put a back seat in it

See the end of production thread for the sixer coupe.

[ssuene93]

It means the price tag on the 8 will be more than a 6.

Just going to try to add my 2 cents:

S Maybach = RR (Ghost?)
CLS = ? (guessing 8)
S = 7
CLE (only a matter of time) = 6 (now ?)
E = 5
C Coupe (rename to CLC imminent?) = 4
C = 3
CLA = 2
A = 1
GLS = X7 (?)
GLE Coupe = X6
GLE = X5
GLC Coupe = X4
GLC = X3
GLA Coupe (only a matter of time surely) = X2 (again, only a matter of time surely)
GLA = X1

I'm sure I missed a few.


EDIT: Forgot the most glaring hole
AMG GT = ??? (i8 doesn't count, as nice as it is)

I still think it's a mistake, I believe there's room for both the 6 series and 8 series. The 6 series should be cheaper than its predecessor, lighter and more sporty, to compete with the E class coupe, whilst the 8 series take on the S coupe

Agreed, I wouldn't mind a "5 series coupe", like with the 3 & 4.

The AMG GT R is faster round the Nurburgring than the 911 GT 3 RS...

Oh, and it's also faster than the 918 Spyder round the Ring...

So the AMG GT cant be all that bad

I wouldn't be surprised to see it back in a few years. BMW does not have a 911 Turbo competitor...the M6 name could fill this slot if BMW so chooses etc...

Bentley and Aston had a baby!

Not to mention the interior. It feels fucking fantastic in there.

This is just what I and others remember reading here last year as potentially taking place. I have no idea what will actually become of the 6, but I don't think it will disappear all together. Coming back smaller and lighter than it's current iteration would make a lot of sense. It's a pig of a car imho. But who knows...

Cannot wait, hopefully this is better looking than the Merc S class coupe.

Its crap and will probably break in the the first couple of months and will have 3848283838 Problems and recalls also its no faster than a GT3 RS because the 7:20 time of the RS is just a speculation and the 991.2 GT3 lapped the ring in 7:12, thats just a warning for mercedes that they can and will break the GTRS 7:11 time with either the 991.2 GT3 And the 991.2 GT3 RS and the upcoming GT2 and GT2 RS and how is it faster than the 918 while the 918 lapped the ring in 6:57? If you're talking about the magazines time it's irrelevant. Mercedes is crap and will always be crap with their shit mct transmissions and their heavy ass chassises and crap quality like ffs the C63S amg weighs 1950 while the M4 weighs 1550 kilos. Thats M5 weight in the C63. Shows how crap mercedes is.

Looks nice. Is this 100 percent an s coupe rival?

Anyway, I hope it will get new interior, not from the 3.

- The A1 it's not an A class/1 Series competitor, it's a lot smaller
- The CLA is a total different segment from the 2 series, here in Europe we have even the CLA Wagon...
