Just not feeling a 355hp fwd car with the rear wheels powered only when needed (which seems likely anytime you press the gas pedal). I'm sure they'll give it a valiant try, but this just seems to spell new levels of understeer.

It will be interesting to see if AMG beefs up the rear half shafts to be near the size of the fronts. The Golf R uses a similar Haldex setup and you can buy controllers that put more power to the rear, but the rear half shafts are tiny.
