Is Miami the capital of AMG cars?

In Miami / Miami Beach for less than a week and I've seen more AMG cars than I have seen in SF Bay Area for the last 1 month....

And, if I count it correctly:
- SL55: 10+ times
- CL55: 4 times
- S55: 2 times
- CLK55: 8 times
- E55: 0
- C32: 3 times

Other cars worth to mention:
- M3: 1 time (Hmmmm.... )
- M5: 0
- Lamborghini Galardo: 3 times (different ones)
- Ferrari 360 Modena: 4 times (one of them driven by a blonde lady )
- And countless times of non-AMG mercs...

And last but not least....
PORSCHE CARRERA GT ..... damn that car is a beauty....

Miami and LA are probably the biggest AMG markets. You didn't see any E55s?...I've seen 4 at different times in the parking lot of my local supermarket.

I'd have to add Palo Alto, CA. Eating at Long LIfe Noodle at the STanford Mall for lunch, my friend and I spotted on average 5 AMG cars in a one hour period over a course of 1 month - about 10 lunch visits.

BTW, 4 out of 5 were driven by very hot-looking women.

No Houston is. I see E55s all over the place, but only in Black or Silver and the odd Pewter.

Anyone want to start a list for top cities for fake-badged AMG's and M3/M5's?

Hell you would might as well start with Southern California. I see plenty of fake AMG badges and M badges.

Really?? I live in East Bay and rarely see AMG cars..... I saw couple W210 E55 and W211 E55s.... and so far only 2 SL55s and couple S55..... yet, I don't see them every day.... not like in Miami.....

ima55r2: Well, may be all E55s are hiding from me honest, no E55 so far...

Lotta AMGs in Scottsdale (area). I saw my first SL500 AMG!

Best AMG sighting in Scottsdale: On Sat. morning; '05 SL 55 left in front of a upscale restaurant/bar left over from Fri. night. Owner had "too much fun" & the valets called him a cab. Next morning (Sat.) a street fair/market sprang up around the SL 55 with booths/tables on both sides. Someone put a hand drawn sign: "Raffle tickets $10 each - To support Breast Augmentation Research"

- $10 bucks for a $140K ride... priceless!

I live in Las Vegas and see many AMG's. If Im not mistaken, I think that Las Vegas has the most registered SL55's in the US.
