not that I have an AMG, but honestly what are you supposed to do besides say "poser" to yourself and drive off.
I saw a guy in fake GT mustang the other day and I simply pointed out to my kids what the give-a-ways were (they are car nuts like me). But besides people are crazy nowadays anyway

If I notice (which would be rare), I sort of shake my head and go about my day.

Makes me chuckle, what do people think they an accomplish by adding a badge? your not fooling anyone, and if you did manage to, the second you set your foot down the difference would show. I did see an S500 today that had obviously been rebadged... interesting, the emblem was lower and slightly askew

HAHAHA +1

I saw one today , 211 E55 AMG Looked identical even the quad exhaust and the rear bumper were authentic , so I was thinking let me burn him off the the line with the Jeep , so when i pulled up I notice the small Brakes I still gave him the GO eye but he didn't even hint as he knew for sure he was posing

Actually they do. they are trying to impress people who know what AMG is, but who don't know enough to spot the difference. And in most cases it works.
