There is someone at work with a 57 C220 CDI. He has replaced the CDI badge with a Brabus one >_>.

Much like the BMW //M badge, in this case AMG is a trim / specification level.
Love the new A class, that one looks great, shame it's got a slug of an engine.

At least that had more than 110bhp. Not really sure I understand why a private buyer with clearly sufficient funds to buy a brand new Mercedes would go from an Audi S3 to a 1.4 diesel. I didnt think anyone other than company car owners would opt for that model.

Surely trim levels are Classic, Elegance and Avantguarde, you can get AMG styling kit, wheels, peformance pack etc as options on some models, but wiithout a handbuilt AMG engine, an AMG badge designates only Poser to me.
The dealer here badges about 50% of normal mercs as AMG, but that's just marketing based on a styling package.
Having said that, I love the new A, and if they import the A45 or CLA45 here that may be my next car.

Thank you.
Extras as far as I know are:
Navigation Plus
Flat bottomed multi function steering wheel
Bluetooth
Auto lights and wipers
Electric folding mirrors
Privacy pack
IPod adapter
Parking sensors
Heated seats
Centre arm rest with phone adapter (not that any phone fits this anyway!)
It's a 2 litre turbo (262HP) had it a week now and already getting the itch for a remap.
Paid just under £16000 in the end, no interior shots I'm afraid.

It's not - there is an 'AMG Sport' trim level now - its an official trim level.
Got rid of my old S3 in favour of a newer one
Now *that* is how you replace an S3. Not with a 1.4 diesel

I want to see your car.
When that A Class was posted I was expecting some form of 3 litre straight six with a couple of turbos strapped to it.
Not a 1.4 piddly diesel
