With the upcoming rise of the 4Matic all-wheel system on pretty much the entire AMG lineup, there are some voices out there who are completely against the idea.
As some of you know, in about a couple of years the only Mercedes-AMG models not available with all-wheel drive will be the roadsters, while the rest of them will get 4Matic as standard in the United States and optional in Europe.
The only countries which are currently being spared from the uprising are where people drive on the wrong... ahem... left side of the road, as the rear-wheel drive-based 4Matic system wasn't originally developed to go with RHD cars as well.
Others see it as a blessing, and just by looking at the Porsche-like acceleration numbers of an E 63 AMG S-Model we kind of tend to agree with them.
