For those that think "AMG Line" = “AMG" here is some clarification

You could stick an M Power badge on the back of a Merc and 95% of the population wouldn`t have any idea that it shouldn`t be there.

Best going unbadged , keeps it stealthy. If you know , you know - seats / brakes / exhausts are the give-a-way.

Not really about badging. Some owners think that their "AMG-Line" is an AMG.;)

It's all bxxlocks, bit of brushed alli. Which I wud prefer not to hav =amg line marketing fanny system. Just buy wot u like. Mine has a half size amg badge on boot (previous owner) I just don't care about it. A real amg car, badge just means going to get some shxt electrics, electronics fixed and owner getting bent over at the cc machine.. No thanks

It's amazing how the badge fools people though, I saw a Youtube video of a chap gushing over the "rare AMG" CL500 he had bought a while back. The in his next video he said "can people stop telling me its not an AMG, Mercedes say it is" and then in the following videos he oddly never mentioned AMG again. Perdictably there was nothing AMG at all about the car, not even wheels or a bodykit; just a small aftermarket badge on the bootlid.

It is important enough for some who add the AMG badge to their car insisting that it is “actually an AMG you know, ....” :rolleyes: .

Until recently I just buy a car that's comfortable, does wot I need, is reasonably economic and one I have some prospect of not lifting the bonnet very often 50 Yr worked pretty well got shot up a bit with current motor,, won't happen again. My fault, not enuf prior research. And truthfully had just sold v doz and needed to get back to France .. Act in haste and all that.....

Perhaps your Mercedes had AMG dysphoria?
