    I like AMG, but I'm not a fan of "performance crossovers". I would much rather prefer the A45 AMG, but that isn't sold in the USA. That's a proper hot hatch AMG style.

    If you removed the mercedes and AMG symbols, I might have thought this was a next-gen Subaru WRX STI from the exterior and a good amount of the interior. I literally cannot imagine 5 years ago putting this car, with that wing, in front of a mercedes audience and asking what brand they thought it was. Would have been awesome though :)

    The spoiler looks like it came from a modded '96 Civic

    If luck will have and my wife doesn't change her mind, we'll take delivery in Germany in the spring

    Cool. Anticipation is half the fun, too.

    You can even get the trim on a non-AMG model in Germany. I saw this one a few days ago:

    I see it like an STi for those who don't wear a backwards baseball cap.
