Yes we are, I addressed this in the product/vendor forum. You can't allow a competing entity to run a supposedly objective website or it's bound to happen--we're far from the only ones. This past week they banned a dealer from selling my products; "odd" because we have more objective customer proven results than any other vendor on that site. That's all I'd like to say regarding that situation at this time. Thanks Andy |

Again everyone knows the E92/90 M3 is superior then the AMG chassis. It should be anyways considering the intensive development put into it. These brands do carry two different philosophies and I agree with you on that. I also agree that the development of a DCT type transmission would certainly be to the advantage of AMG. However, there are well aware of that and have produced such a transmission in the SLS AMG. |

The very fact so many other brand car owners post here is proof that they value the M brand and still have a desire to own one again, plus they may well feel that this forum in general has a collection of like-minded enthusiasts that happen that love discussing cars............all cars. |

I knew about the SLS AMG (Drove one and thought it was nice). Maybe for 2011... Merc goes TTV8, with their AMG SPEEDSHIFT MCT 7, could make a sick AMG C-Class. Just please ditch the wood grain interior too!

FYI, the carbon fiber trim is available on the C AMG as an option, just like wood trim are available as an option for the M3.

i guess you just skipped the last part of my sentence. i will copy and paste it here so you can read it. see below. i see even after stating that people will still get offended and take it the wrong way.
" note i said not all merc owners so the ones that are not like that i wasn't reffering to you and there are plenty of bmw owners who are the same way" Quote:

The implication is simply that if you don't own a BMW, then you probably aren't really into cars. Sorry, but the intent is pretty clear. Now, if you were to take all the millions of MBs sold throughout the world, then yes, of course there are few enthusiasts within those millions. And the same can be said of BMW and other brands. There are hundreds of thousands of owners of 7ers, 6ers, 5ers, Xers, etc., who are not "car enthusiasts" whatsoever. But taking M and AMG owners together as a group, they are equally enthusiastic, intelligent, and well-informed about cars and motorsports. The irony is that MB/Daimler has a much longer and bigger history of automobile building and motorsports than BMW. Remember Auto Union and the Silver Arrow era? And today's DTM and F1. (MB even bought Brawn this year, and BMW dropped out altogether.) Both MB and BMW carry an owner stereotype, right or wrong. But both brands also have a large contingent of owners who are definitely automobile enthusiasts. |

i meant in general not amg owners etc. you def took it the wrong way
i didn't mean it as anything other then an obversation i have noticed over the years thats all. and i didn't write the last part as a disclaimer as i have friends who own AMG's and are into cars etc so i meant in general. Quote:
