AMG Reversing Course on V8s

Hopefully this is nothing but good news.

It's amazing how tone deaf some companies are these days. Should surprise nobody that sales for the overly expensive, complex and heavy 4 banger would flop hard.

No more MB:(
Money goes where it's wanted. This move by MB to ram EV's down the market's throat was a massive failure. This will take time to undo but at least they recognize the market. As for the CLE63, looks like it will be 2027 when this car hits. BMW will be phasing out the current M3/4 generation, could be very interesting times. Maybe we will actually have choices agin.

The strict emissions rules are still coming which are intended to flat out ban ICE engines eventually. AMG will have to figure out how to make EVs just as fun as the V8 cars or just die off, but for now, we might get more V8s for a while!

Probably, but voting for the right people could go a long way towards delaying it.
