Some people say they get AMG's for the performance when they could get another car with the same or better performance for alot less money (like a new Vette, etc).
Others say they get them because they are exclusive and cost more.....yet, what would you rather have.....a new S550 or a 6 year old CLK AMG, E55, etc I also don't think AMG cars are the high-almighty cars to end the world.

Actually since I'm a single 22yr old college student and not a 50yr old family man I would prefer a W208 AMG to a new S550. It does crack me up how many people defend the AMG badge just because they have the "sport package" on their cars though.

 

I have a 2001 clk 55 amg and I think is is the best car I have ever had. Fast no problems good gas miles what more could you want and the best part is, as it is the slow one for 7,000$$ I can have about 500 hp. One other thing my car was bought new by Bernie Williams of the NY yankees.

 

Well if someone would trade his S550 for my CLK55, I guess I'd take it. If I had to buy it, I can't afford it.. so yea - realistically, I'm happy with my CLK55.
