He isn’t really an idiot. It’s just that AMG has been around a lot longer than he thinks and that AMG produces a very special line of Mercedes’. AMG cars are very well developed and sophisticated.
SRT cars seem little more than a standard car with a big engine. And I believe SRT is a pretty young department (I’m not talking about R/T).
So AMG is already to Mercedes what SRT possibly will be to Chrysler, not the other way around.

thats a good idea. these cars are very capable but their performance is hindered by the mercedes badge. a mercedes must be comfortable and automatic.

Mercedes should just spin AMG off as a new company producing the SL SLK SLR to compete with porsche. Mercedes could this way concentrate on coupes and 4 saloons cars.

just another way to dilute themselves with a million more models…seems like they are the only major european company doing this and imo it makes them seem more like one of the american companies

They are always a little too expensive.

They should take the current DTM race car, and change only the things required to make it road legal. Opel has done that a few years ago with the DTM Astra.
I think the AMG CLK DTM isn’t close enough to the race car yet.

As long as they get more hardcore and more track-based, I’m happy.
