C220 AMG 2-dr compact hatchback!

C220 AMG 2-dr compact hatchback!
==============================

Yes, you read that right... today, I saw a white vehicle on the road... a white 2-door compact hatchback.. and it had on its behind:
(a) a C220 badge on the left,
(b) a silver 3-pointer star Mercedes logo in the middle,
and
(c) an AMG badge on the right!

I took a picture of the rear of the car as I passed it, but I don't have my USB cable right now, and this laptop I have on me doesn't have bluetooth, so I can't get the picture out of my phone.

I think it was a old Honda Civic Coupe hatchback? Or maybe a Ford Apsire coupe? I could be wrong, so y'all can correct me when I post the picture.

(or, if one of you can post pics from your phone, I can send it to your phone if you PM me your number)

Sounds like you just saw a C220 Coupe with an AMG badge mounted on the right.

No no.. I know what a C-class coupe looks like.. this was no C-class coupe.. The reason I said "Honda Civic" was because it reminded me of the the "Honda Civic" coupe in that supermarket movie with Dane Cook and Jessica Simpson, "Employee of the Month".

LOL.. yes, I realize that... I am going to send it to the phone number that I just got from you, and you can post it.

Note that I already passed most of the car when I took the pic, so you can't see the badges properly, but knowledgable car guys should be able to make out what car it is.

ok, I just sent the pic.. but I just zoomed in to my pic on my cell phone.. and could make out that the badge on the right doesn't look like an AMG badge at all.. my memory must be playing tricks on me, but the picture doesn't lie, so now I can't make out what it is on the right..

Hyundai Excel

The wording on the right is most likely the "Excel" part.

This kinda looks like it (updated Excel logo)

Edit. Sorry about the double post.

ok, so it's the Excel then.. I'm sure the right-side badge said something other than "Excel".. my memory fails me though.. for some reason, I was so sure that it said AMG...

here's a pic I found on the Internet, that almost shows the same angle as my pic.
