Yeah I understand where you guys are coming from but the way I saw it was that: Mercedes is too far in the luxury/comfort side, it felt massive and heavy in a good way but could feel no power; BMW was the complete opposite it seemed like sport or go home. Audi felt like the middle ground, nice exterior and interior, comfortable to drive daily and power when I wanted it.
That's why you buy AMG. I've had 3 Audis before I started buying Mercedes and I've never looked back. I've never owned a BMW and I don't tthink I ever will. Bmw's interiors do nothing for me. I hate their dash designs, button designs and the vinyl finishes on their plastic that wears off after a few yrs. Regular Mercedes are exactly like you say, too much luxury, not enough power. AMG on the other hand is the best of both worlds. When I want to go fast, I have 500whp on tap, when I want to relax, I put it in comfort mode and cruise. Short of an R8 v10 or the RS6, Audi doesn't make anything than can compete.
