The Motor Trend Duo, Jason Cammisa and Jonny Lieberman, who’s absolutely killing it on Youtube these days in the absence of guys like Chris Harris and Harry Metcalfe, have finally gotten round to review the 2017 Mercedes SL63 AMG. This car hasn’t really got much press since the R230 SL55 AMG as with every new model it got softer, uglier, and more tasteless.

So, how does the new 2017 Mercedes SL63 AMG fares? Is it continuing the downward trajectory, or are things looking good for the SL with this model?
