Default Mercedes suspends AMG V8 deliveries

Most V8s for 2022 including those on order.

I would assume Canada will; follow. I am hoping this does not spread as I have a Cayenne GTS V8 on order with no date confirmed.

This is either a move to electric performance models or emission issue

Yep and it is getting worse...I see it across a variety of businesses I am involved with- just have to be very aware and plan ahead, but at the scale of there majors it is having a huge effect. However, if it persists we will be getting into tighter EU emissions and noise regulation so the timeline for the V8 will shorten. I once had an M6 V10...an amazing engine that lasted no time in production..could not meet then emission reg changes.
