Car: Fiat Palio 1.6 16v Rep Power: 37    |  The AMG photo contest...not really Allright guys, this is the deal: I saw this car last sunday and it clearly has "CLS55 AMG" on the boot lid, but the info retrieved from the license plate says it´s a CLS500. Judging by the pictures, any of you Mercedez-Benz fans can identify if it´s really an AMG or just a CLS500 posing as an AMG? Many thanks in advance!

Car: 1998 Subaru Legacy 2.5L Rep Power: 39 | Exhaust is AMG Bodykit is AMG however there is no AMG rear spoiler on boot lid... Wheels are off CLS500 Suspension is much too high to be an AMG Also...if its an AMG, it would have rather obvious "sports seats" which would give it away. Also...the engine obviously  Damn, I would have liked an AMG contest

Rep Power: 0  | one of the best ways to know if a amg merc is real is look at the brake calipers - they must say amg on them.
