This would be an awesome powertrain in the AMG C-Class, and a much better replacement for the highly coveted V8, rather than dropping half of its cylinders. Not sure they couldn't reserve the 4-pot for the lower-tier AMG 35/43 model and at least save a "larger" displacement engine for the top-tier AMG 53/63 model.

I bet they use the inline 6 for the C63 and maybe 4 for lesser models?
