AMG line of pretend sportscars is no better than the M line, that's true.
Modern car industry is guilty of this as a whole. Back in the days high prices were derived from build quality and longevity, now you pay for 400kg worth of infotainment gimmicks and driver assistance systems for the mentaily impaired. These are of course not designed to last, nonono, they are meant to get the service bills going especially since when everything is integrated a simple malfunction causes the entire dashboard or center console or whatever system to be replaced.
Blah blah blah, old man yelling at cloud again.
