The colors look misplaced... Mercedes is about elegance, this sort of styling is only reserved for go-fast 4 cylinder JDM's.
Idk why AMG is changing their formula, which has been working for years... they are downsizing engines, building engines outside of Affalterbach (i.e. the A45), trying to produce a version of every new Mercedes model, over badging all over, etc.
I understand that profits need to be made, but it seems like that is more of what they are focusing on now... AMG used to be more of an exclusive tuner branch that served mainly to enthusiasts. The cars are still great and maybe the profits will lead to more really great cars and some not so great ones, which we can all live with... but I hope they can mange to stay on track.

These cars should be offered at a discount not a premium. And i agree, Mustang was the first thing i thought of when i saw them. They are truly awful and i have no idea what MB Australia was thinking dressing cars in this way. Beyond the pale
