If AMG really are building 20,000+ a year as stated in some sources, it certainly dilutes the whole "hand built engine by a master craftsman" thing... These are really assembly line engines with a bit of manual intervention and name badge - AMG's are mass-produced cars now... (I recall Top Gear pointed this out some time back as well)
