AMG line Mercs

Guys,

For those who think BMW is "cashing in" with the M badge on lesser bimmers, seems like Mercedes are doing the same with the AMG line. I would assume that the marketing men want brand-identification for people who are aspiring to but cannot yet afford the AMG/M cars.

Yes indeed --- no different than Audi with the S line, or the F sport with the IS and Lexus. Its that middle ground offering for the masses.
