The amg is an entirely different beast and on island roads probably faster point to point
behaves more rowdy / immature in a positive way ( the sports exhaust (- my wife calls it that man button🤣-it burps, pops and farts like crazy)

Benz is more economic but Burmeister looses to Mark levinson Sound System but better sat nav and phone integration despite older style command on this pre fl car
roof comes off interior nicer looking
both great cars in their own right
mb after sales is amazing Lexus only claims to be
