They kinda will. Next generation GT shares its platform with the SL, although it will also feature styling differences as well as likely some sportier touches.

When our Ford Raptor got stolen we bought a little MB C43 'vert for the summer while we were waiting for the new Raptor. I also had a Stage 2 Roush Mustang. I loved the Mustang. It was a beast. But I also really liked the C43 for entirely different reasons. I got rid of both of them and bought the M8 Comp 'vert and I got the best of both worlds.
The power and brutality of the Mustang (when you want it) and the refinement and class of the C43. I don't know how anyone could criticize it. I get compliments on it all the time. I absolutely love it so who gives a rats ass what some writer thinks? |

I grew up in a GM world as that is all my Dad and his brothers/kids would buy. Almost got disinherited (totally joking) for buying my 1st Lexus which was the antichrist move. My uncle has a barn (he's a Colorado farm boy just like my Dad) housing decades of my cousins muscle cars, etc. including my holy grail s 69 454 Stingray (not a muscle car but in the mix). Fast forward to now and I'd take a Mustang over a Camero any day of the week. But I'm holding out to buy either the Stingray or the 67 Pontiac GTO from my cousin Charlie who owns both. Immaculate condition and just waiting to find a home with me. 👍 |

The front is fine but the rear is this bulbous round booty with no definition, of course IMHO LOL But I do love me a hot V8 4.0 and the sound that comes with the M177/78

The price is definitely ridiculous, but I'd go for a 55 which is much much cheaper, and there will be discounts available just like they were/are for the 8er.

but I found this on the Benz forums and thought is rather ironic considering what we all are used with Porsche and other brands with price bumps- bet you never thought you would see a dealer adjust down for market ahhahahahahahhaha

The only issue I have with the M8 is the price. I think it's way over priced imo. When you have that kind of money, there's better options. |

Ok I'll take the bait. What? Comparable Porsche is much more. SL63 much more. I can't think of a convertible that's a better deal out the door then a m850 or m8

Shhh guys!! This is a Bmw forum ....why all the Mercs ? I've been a BM fanatic for 40 years and the last thing I want is people admiring Mercs.
I would never consider a Merc ... have had many Mercs in my family for years... Th M8 is a different taste ... I think it's the best looking coupe...that's only my opinion and others are free to think otherwise... Every car has its down sides ...Mercs too. The M8 is perfect but all we talk about is the depreciation of them . If you are my age and you buy for keeps....then you will not care about the loss in value. Please note ! 3 year old pre LCI are still going for 75k- 85k. Lol ...is that bad? M6's are still going for 30 to 40k ( UK ) and in the county where I live now....the prices are x2 higher. All cars are money pits...that's just what they are. Houses are a solid buy if you are looking not to LOSE money. Young drivers have to consider to either buy a property to make money in the long run or keep treading on greasy steps with cars and not make ground with saving .... Matter of personal circumstances. Keep this form BMW M8 / 8 series only please... |

I'm getting to be old as dirt with the irony I used to buy for keeps (7 to 13 years) but now I'm desiring a few different cars before full retirement and then it's back to buy for keeps with a sensible sedan.
