Where did it all go wrong?
>>28608149 (OP)
Some time during the '10s, when they diluted the AMG brand with multiple tiers of model, in some cases rebadging non-AMG cars like the C450 into the AMG C43. That was also when they decided every single Mercedes sedan now needs the massive grille badge, that now lights up even, whereas Mercedes sedans before always had the hood ornament (with the grille badge being reserved for their sports cars/SUVs).
This was also yet again the same period of time that they decided that piano gloss black plastic was more luxurious than genuine wood veneers, I suppose since it's easier to shove the $10 worth of Temu RGB LED strips behind them that all Mercedes now have.
Even the reliability is tanking too, since we went from indestructible diesels, to AMG V8s that can go half a million miles, bulletproof V6s, and now you've got base model 4cyl Mercedes that are literally cracking their pistons causing total failures before 100k miles instead.
