Do not know if previously posted....

This all but insures the desirability of pre mercedes cars. I believe many may begin to buy low mile, rare color combos soon. Kind of a nice Christmas gift?

Have no problem with a AMG engine in a Mercedes, but not happy with it in an Aston Martin....

At least have Cosworth have a go at it and dress it up to look less like a MB engine.

Aston should've just the Ford's 5.2 V8 from the GT350; coolest V8 on the market. Maybe emissions & gas mileage forced Aston's hands and MB was the best fit?

I'd rather have an AMG V8 than a freakin inline 6 Hybrid! Lame!

500 HP from a 6 cylinder NA engine?
Perhaps a Vantage with 1/2 of the Valkyrie V12 engine would be a suitable stablemate?
Might be worth looking forward to...
Sound would most likely be quite extraordinary at 10K+ RPM!!!

And if there was a suitable front end also...
