Of course, the entire vehicle matters. The suggestion was that AMG is not catering to the enthusiast. Considered in the modern context, fail to see how AMG isn't the clear leader on enthusiast/motorsport powertrain. Or, how integrating their 7x WCC F1 hybrid tech isn't for the driving enthusiast.

If the F1 link is all marketing and no substance, then all of this goes out the window. But that would be foolish. Doesn't look like that's how they're trending based upon what they've shown us so far.
