So they pulled a AMG 63 (6.2L) move? lol, why the hell would they call it a 3.8, thats just flat out telling a lie (but I guess AMG got away with it technically). That is pretty ridiculous.

Initial purchasers in the US paid a substantial federal “gas guzzler” fee upon procurement. Of course you’re aware that in many countries vehicles are taxed on – among other criteria – their actual engine size. I already pay an arbitrary annual fee of several hundred dollars to the state in addition to 8.25% county, 18 CPG state, and an 18.4 CPG federal tax upon each refueling. If a manufacturer’s marketing arm chooses to mislabel its engines’ displacement to better serve their purchasers, so be it.

The C32’s nominal 89.9mm bore and 84.0mm stroke six results in a swept displacement of 3199 cubic centimeters. It’s labeled as a 3.2 liter engine.
