Maybe its just me but I'm sick of AMG!
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 heard that the AMG cars are limited to ~2000 per year for each model and that ~500 come to the USA.

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

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...

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+!
