This car is so stunningly beautiful. Especially in these pictures, it looks like it would've been made for the AMG-body kit. This would also explain why it appears so cheap in standard trim.

What a Porsche eater

According to my sources, the AMG engines are put together by hand.

Oh I want my money back ... my bubble was burst. Where is such proof? Or did you buy your AMG off the production line Anyways I would love to see such proof. I pulled this excerpt off the AMG site ...

One Man, One Engine
All AMG models are powered by a hand-assembled AMG engine. The company's "One Man, One Engine" philosophy means that a master engine builder assembles each engine from start to finish in the AMG headquarters in Affalterbach, Germany. Each engine builder completes only 2-3 engines per day, with total responsibility for their production. When it's done, the builder affixes a signature plate to each engine.

Why would a luxury company like Mercedes risk their reputation by lying to their customers and focus an entire ad campaign on the hand built thing.

They could also possibly be sued for deceptive advertising practices...I don't think they would take that chance.

I think he is refering to the fact that the guys have machines to help them build the engines and the parts are all mostly ready before it's assembled (by hand!).

Apparently some people want "hand built" to mean literally hand built.

I have actually visited the AMG headquarters in Affalterbach, and seen the engines being hand assembled. Ofcourse many of the parts arrive ready made,how could one engineer build 2-3 engines per day otherwise?? They dont sit there pressing steel!!!

But this does not take away from the fact that this process is still special and rare in the car industry,especially for such a mass produced marque,and it does contribute a certain added feeling of quality.

That would be funny- I hope he is not that obtuse to think everything is even forged by hand. Lets see ... They are now not only engine builders but also blacksmiths.

It seems the "bluntness" emanates from the new European safety regulations that are intended to save pedestrian lives. Unfortunately the look will be spreading to all vehicle manufacturers. Some views don't appear as blunt, but maybe this is why AMG has incorporated a more aggressive body panel design on the CL63 than even on the CL550 "sport package".
