Hi, It is just a 'purist' thing that an AMG traditionally was the hand built engine by AMG. These days to sell more cars Mercedes badge cars with AMG due to the body styling and the tweaks they make to the standard production engine. The engine in the A35 and the GLB35 is the same standard 2.0 petrol with 'tweaks'. So compared to the V8 hand built engine me personally I don't really class it as a true AMG... If you know what I mean. Just my opinion. Thanks for the comment and watching the video!
@@markwarner7326 Hey I’m on the boat that if the brilliant people at AMG say it’s an AMG, then I’ll take their word for it- even if it breaks away from their traditional builds. They still tweak many other aspects of the vehicle besides the engine, so I’m cool with that!
Is this a watered down AMG? Yes. Is this still a AMG vehicle? Yes! Congratulations on your purchase!
cool video I like both volvo xc60 and glb amg ...so beautiful car .
Congrats mate, great buy! Bought one myself two weeks ago.
Well done people who work hard Can enjoy the luxury of Amazing cars you live only once and have to enjoy every as the last .
I don’t understand how not having the hand built engine means it is not a real AMG. Is the badging aftermarket and not factory?
