Not that its something to be excited about--- the latest C63 AMG is a hybrid that makes use of a 4 cylinder turbo. At that point, just go full EV. Its not like the "character" of a 4 cyinder is going to warm the hearts of enthusiasts.

I was very tempted to go for the M3 sedan when I bought my 4 GC, but I could not in good conscience absorb the mileage hit. It just seemed so self-centered in my one and only car. Probably silly, since I really don’t drive much, but because I also had PHEVs and EVs in view, it just seemed like a big FU to the planet to buy it.
