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.

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.
