Not sure if I like this facelift or the current W213 E63. Hopefully, like the W205 it will grow on me.

I love it. But I am saddened by the knowledge that it's a melting ice cube - even with AMG engines becoming smaller and smaller and thus less polluting.
Making an AMG EV is easy, the question is how do you market it? With the Tesla Model S P100D doing 0-60 in 2.28 seconds, selling an AMG EV on performance alone will be difficult. Also, it will be difficult to beat Tesla on the electronic gadgety side. Handling? Sure, the Tesla is a barge, but can AMG build a market share purely on that? It remains to be seen...
I would imagine, AMG might take a similar approach as Porsche have with the Taycan. Consistently and repeatedly very, very fast, rather than sometimes very, very, very fast. Not a criticism of Tesla, just a different design brief.I would think AMG will need to play on brand, innovation (as seen in the S Class) and handling to surpass Tesla.
I'm interested to see what the manufacturers will bring out over the next few years and how this plays out.
