However poorly executed it may have been, I don't think they would have ever been able to sell it as an AMG 63 product. Maybe a 43 or 53... But not 63. People buy cars like that not for just the power, but also for the sound and experience.
Whoever approved that at MB should be shot in the foot. Painful reminder of their failure, but nothing that's going to really put them in danger. And it should be a standing rule that if you bring up putting a 4 cylinder in an AMG, you're fired. Just don't talk about the FWD cars. Say it's powered by half of a V8.
