I somewhat agree with you. I feel like Mercedes has all of the elements to make this a world beater but is holding back.
Maybe a future Black Series will take things to 11 this time. Give it the M178 with 550-600hp and the DCT, sort of what we expect to go into the C190. I guess the lack of AWD would sort of compromise things - unless they were to add that too - but I think this could really upset the status quo if they went for it and put it on the street for GTR-ish cash.
