Question poser or not?

was at the stealership today and there was a CLS500 AMG (or so it said on the rear) it sparked my attn cause I'd never heard of a cls 500 amg?
so i looked at the exhaust only one pipe each side of rear(had amg stamped on them)? so i'm thinking its a amg sport addition or something then i walk around to side and low and behold v8 kompressor badge! holy **** is it a 55 or not? then i look at front brakes little normal sized ones, so now i'm stumped?
is somebody trying to be a AMG 55r poser?

poseur...

unless the sport package now puts an AMG designation on the car -- and i believe it does NOT -- it's a pose-mobile.

it's really quite something to see how many there are in S FL.

well, if the suspect car is privately owned, then opening its hood may be difficult.

Did the car have 4 exhaust pipes or 2? That would answer your question.

even if they do (which i doubt), who put on the V8K on the side? its a poser, and if anyone says that its ok b/c he has an AMG package. how do you explain the V8K badge?

You can get them from a MB dealer and the cost is approx $45 each.

4 wheels
Look at the seats. Did the seats say AMG and what did the IC say? that should give your firm proof that this was poser.
