You can disagree. But you’re wrong.
False equivalency BS. What Mercedes does with the current 63/65 and the previous 55/65 is completely different from what they are doing now with the C43/E53 and C43/E63. As 55/63/65 (the OG C43 W202) are all ACTUAL AMG cars. Pop the hood of any 55/63/65 and they have AMG plates on the engine with the guys name who “hand assembled” it.
Now pop the hood of any 43 or 53 (CLS53 included) car. Spoiler alert: no AMG plate. Because the car comes off a mass assembly line and never sees the AMG factory.
