Not only that... Mercedes also placed AMG badges on non-Mercedes vehicles. See for yourself. Below is a BMW X5 AMG. Must be their new line-up. 2017 model perhaps?

Proof of where you have gotten that information is needed please. From what other members have quoted and posted from MB themselves is that only full AMG cars have the badge on the rear. The Wheels, appearance packages do not count and dealers are not supposed to install the badge on those cars. Hence the saying, if it doesn't have the engine, then its not a AMG!!!. Dealers have been known to slap them on to help sell their cars and MBUSA is supposed to come down hard on the dealers if caught. Thats what has been posted before so your information is new and different if you can shed some light on where you found that out at please.

Might not be a Benz, nor an AMG.

But one thing is for sure, it's definitely not a Jeep Wrangler.

Relax gents, some overly tarted buckets naturally grow multi-orifices to release super intense Fart-Can pressure build up..

If this one has been posted already, my apologies for not following this thread closely enough.

mixed feelings about this one. it is a 1992 SL500 with an impressive conversion to R230 SL65 (hard to believe). Pure posing ... but nice job none-the-less

All that money spent and he doesn't put the quad-tips on? For shame!

Also, that wheelbase looks wonky, especially the location of the rear wheel in the fenderwell.

Gave me the thumbs up when I went by him, but as I went by I realized I saw something glinting on the rear side of the truck that looked awfully suspicious. So I let him pass so I could get a better look and sure enough it was a AMG badge. CLK 430 AMG model. Really wanted to show my disappointment of his actions, since he thought he was so cool, but understated is better than being a show off. So quietly, well as quiet as a AMG can be went on my way.

A long time ago there was a discussion about the 1998 CLK 430. Long story short there were just too many CLK430s running around with AMG badges placed as you have seen above. So one could assume there cant be that many posers. A quick google search will reveal this has been discussed many many times on many different forums.

I remember reading a post by a guy who worked for MBUSA who claimed the AMG badges were installed at the Port of Jacksonville and were indeed sold off dealer's lots with the AMG badge. I believe this was done at the dealers request on cars that were pre-ordered. This was before the CLK55 (m112) came out in 2001 and AMGS offerings were limited to the E55 and the C36/C43 (Which was made before MB even acquired AMG). In the CLK430s defense the car did come with the wheels and the body kit offically marketed as the sport package. HOwever if you were to enter the VIN in AMGPL, you will not gain access bc officially Mercedes Benz never sold a CLK430.
