Hello all. Just thought I’d show everyone this advert that I found on eBay. I would like to know what others opinions are on this as this really frustrates me. Over the years I have actually had several very high rate arguments over this issue and in my opinion Mercedes are to blame really as they call any Mercedes produced that is fitted from factory with an AMG body kit. They actually call it (this is an example) SLK200 AMG. Now to those who don’t have much knowledge about this they can be mislead in to thinking the car is an official AMG. But the fact actually is that it’s just a badge and nothing more. I few years ago I was working as taxi driver and a customer who I picked up started to talk about there new Mercedes c class AMG. On arrival at there house i spotted the “blue efficiency” (or a badge near to this description) badge on the front wing. So In spotting that I casually remarked “i thought you had a real AMG”. The following I did not expect. The customer come to my door literally in such a rage they nearly pulled it from its hinges then grabbed hold of me and pulled me out of the car. They was in my face screaming that they are not a Lier and that the car is definitely an AMG. I tried to explain that i accept it has the AMG kit however it is a diesel therefore not a real AMG. This row continued for about 40 minutes. I was shocked by there reaction and they reported me to the local council for being a rude driver. I look back and can only laugh as I know I was right. And this advert has just brought it all back to. However this is definitely a misleading advert and they should be told! What are your opinions? Thanks Rik
