I live in NJ and I can say that I am sick of AMG. It seems that everyone has one.

In a 6 hour period I saw 11 AMG's (all real), 4 of which were S55's. My friend traded in his SL500 (2k3) for an SL55.

Is there a special lease rate that I am unaware of?

I now see 2x as many AMG's a day as I see M's.

If everyone has one its not special anymore...plus all the owners are 70+ in age and barely drive faster then the speed limit....grr

Keep in mind that NJ is one of the top 3 richest states in the union and that it has some of the richest counties in the USA. Perhaps AMGs in our state compare to Ferraris in Los Angeles.

I am just wondering if MB is producing more AMG's now then they did for the last body style of each model.

I do know that MB wants to increase sales volume across the board. However, you still need to have people who want to buy the car.

I live near Princeton and I NEVER see any AMGs. It is strange. If there is a MB around here, it is either an old C or a newish S500. Nothing else around.

Come to California, especially Silicon Valley. The first thing people did after selling stock options or becoming a VP was buy a MB. Why not the biggest and badest one around? I agree that it's kind of sad to see such a fine piece of craftsmanship in the hands of someone who doesn't know how to use it.

I heard that the AMG cars are limited to ~2000 per year for each model and that ~500 come to the USA.

Thats odd since Princeton (in general) is a rich area.

E55AMG99 - Do you know the amount produced of the older styles? Like C43 or C36 (of which I have only seen 2 IRL).

I once saw the production/import numbers on a website but I failed to bookmark it. I haven't been able to locate it since. If I do, I'll post it.

Talking about AMG's in California. I am in LA and frequent Beverly Hills. You wanna talk about AMG's as far as the eye can see?! All day long and I agree, that it is sad when these beautiful machines are in the hands of someone who knows nothing about what they are driving. I had a 98 BMW M3 and sold it partly because there were just too many out here. Now my 97 E420 is sitting on Carlsson's just to try and be a little different out here. My side skirts are being painted as we speak and I am still working on getting my Carlsson front bumper but it's hard to find. I think a newer E500 is what I will think about next. Later guys...

I live in Bergen county. If it doesn't cost more then $80000 it isn't an MB around here. I have never seen a C32, just E55, SL55, S55, and one G55 around here. And more Asian women in M3's then you could shake a stick at.

Me and my little c-coupe get lots of chuckles...

I believe those Asian women just pick children up or go shopping in supermarket with the M3 .....

the same situation in Toronto area , I saw asian women with C32 or E55 to shop to supermarket ......... no idea why they need AMG ..... u think they would go to track with it !?!?!? no way

Go in France my dear friend. Each time you will see an AMG cars, go and play loto bacause you're lucky!

Saying you are sick of seeing AMG's is like saying you are sick of seeing MB's to me! I really love seeing ALL MB's on the road. I even get a kick whenever I see really old folks sporting the 03 AMG line.

Probably because I will be doing the same when I am 60+!

Come on guys, what determine if you're an AMG driver is your $$$, not how fast he or she drives. It's not like we are in F1 or something.

That's not always true either...you can lease them fairly cheap.
