[quote]An AMG is always an AMG and a C230 that looks like an AMG is always an C230. The inside matter not whats on the outside[quote]
I disagree MB shouldn’t confuse the market place with look alike products! AMG should have its own style.

The AMG does have its own style. Have you not seen the C55? Also, in EVERY other market in the world, the AMG package has been available as a $3000 option including wheels. It still is for that matter - only in the US, do we get the Sport Sedan with the Euro Sport Package (04.5) and AMG styling for nothing compared to what is cost the rest of the world. Why is this not a good thing. No whining.

there's one thing I wish that the C32 is different tho. I wish we can get the new bigger and meaner looking lower front end.

Did you pay $55K for a body-kit or the performance?
How many times do we have to say it:
"What separates an AMG from a standard Benz is PERFORMANCE (the engine, suspension, brakes...)"
THAT’S WHAT AMG IS ALL ABOUT – not a body-kit!

Thanks, I dealt with Mike Anderson at Euro, he's a family friend. He did a great job and am very happy with the price.

Thanks, I might take you up on that offer. Who is/was your Service Advisor at Euro and are you happy with them?
Sorry its taken me so long to respond, I was out of town for the week.
