I had a full blown argument with a colleague who still to this day thinks he owns an AMG Mercedes. He owns a w204 diesel and he has a receipt and invoice that says Amg sport. I own a C32 and you can imagine my upset haha.

It's a shame Mercedes have starting using the AMG name as a trim level but that's just the way it is now.

To a degree I agree with your colleague, it's called a AMG by Mercedes so why shouldn't he call it that? It's not as if he trying to say it's a C63.

Don't think it's a con. It's sad that they stick AMG on everything but if a buyer doesn't do their research then that's down to them. I know a couple of people with "AMG" versions that will say it's an AMGut hey if badges and mats is all you want good luck. At the end of the day they all do it, look at BMW with the M badge. Technically I have an AMG but what does that really mean other than it's a faster version of a bog standard Mercedes. It's amazing how little a lot of people know. Was filling my car up the other night and this guy walks over and says "wow is that the new Mercedes". I say yes it's a new Mercedes. He then asked "how many litres does it have?" and says "oh" when I said 2:)
 
Which cars come from Mercedes with AMG badges on other than AMG, high performance versions?
 
BMW do the same with 'M-Power' badges on non-M cars, Audi have the 'S-Line' badge on no-RS cars, so you can't really blame MB for trying to keep up with the competition.

At the risk of sounding repetitive.
