If they use their Formula 1 hybrid technology that it's pretty much making them unbeatable in the 2019 season, then why not? It will be amazing.

Yep. The good old days are gone; at least we got to live through them and enjoy them.

As far as I'm concerned the AMGs should still have the real-deal 6.2 V8s in them.

I don't follow AMG cars as closely as I used to...the outgoing car is actually a V8, correct?

And people would buy a 4 pot after that?

WTF...

Honestly cannot believe Mercedes Benz is doing that. Who in the hell would buy one with no V8?

I used to be an E-Class fan as well until it went 4 pot, but this AMG trim it's unforgivable.
