Doubtful. Seven people care. And it's not like Renault sold billions of cars in the early 2000's.
AMG sales were up 44% in 2016..
How many of those are AMG Lite 43 models?
"For Mercedes, it also didn?t hurt that the automaker has won the last three Formula One World Championships and via its in-house tuner Mercedes-AMG is now building some of the best performance cars on the planet. AMG?s sales in 2016 totaled 99,235 cars, an insane 44.1 percent gain on the previous year?s record results."

Not sure, havent seen a break down by model. I I dont know if those are apart of it. Does BMW count the M peformance models when stating M sales?


edit** From the way the cars are listed on MBUSA, those 43 models are counted. Dont see how that takes anything away from rhe AMG brand attracting more customers.

MB up 11.3%
AMG up 44%
BMW up 5.3%
