what Mercedes has done is figured out how to sell a tuned evo with a nice interior for 50-70k... so hats off to them. VW does it too with the TTRS and RS3. Those cars can run low 10s with a stock turbo setup which is extremely impressive. Then you have Porsche charging 70k for a 4 cylinder cayman.
Not my cup of tea. But I wouldn't fault someone for it. These engines are definitely light. I remember when my 335i was in for service and I got a 4 cylinder 328. the turn in was noticeably sharper thanks to the lighter weight up front. felt nearly as fast in the lower rpms too.
