I personally feel that AMG has gone awd not because of improved performance, but because it makes it easier to drive for the regular consumer. Being a "driver's car" doesn't rake in the big bucks. Another good example is the new Lambo (sorry, I forgot what it's called). All reviews have said that it now understeers more and is easier to drive. Why? Because that's where the money is.

I can't fault BMW for being successful or chasing profits, but it is disappointing that the "ultimate driving machine" isn't anymore. Fat, heavy, and bloated with technology and the newest infotainment, but that's what sells cars now. Not the actual driving experience.
