Had thought the crap 7yo, yet unsolved, MCT box was 63's only major lemon issue
Interesting that they also can't even solve 63 motor software vs basic/critical safety risks of stalling, etc
But not surprised given AMG has struggled to debug old-tech 65 motors despite being in (obviously low) produc for past 10yrs
Of several repeat buyers of new 65s (guys who buy at least 1 new 65/yr) I know, each has had at least one 65 lemoned by MB.....suggests pace of AMG ability to innovate but debug any new tech
But I'd argue AMG is far above Porsche/Ferrari/anyone else in ability to innovate/debug cars vs real world uses
But would also say 63s&MCT of past 5+yrs are a troubling sign of mainstream AMG ineptitude
If not for latest 65s, would have fled AMG a few yrs ago.....
