This philosophy won't produce long term success (in terms of perception), just pumped-up momentums. I'll pass.
Mercedes doesn't know anything about "subtle", only about "oppulence" and "obvious"; they became so commercial oriented/obsessed, they started to forgot about their values and what's even more surprising is that they started to copy everything that allow them to stay under the radar. Shameful, for a company that wants to be a leader.

I don't see you how can drive an AMG GT and say this afterwards. I thought it was a great drive and a step in the right direction after the SLS.
It's chassis is more sportscar than anything BMW has put out since maybe the M1.
Regardless, I don't see much point in a 9-series but that class is much less crowded than the $70-130K sportscar market.
It's also much easier vehicle to develop with the new modular platforms.
