I don't know I guess I am just never into AMGs. If I had that money I will buy a GTR that's cheaper and faster.
And cars in Australia are just way over priced.
Have you ever owned or driven one for any length of time? Or an BMW M car? You may have a different view if you have...
Is it WORTH it? Well that's a different story... See, worth and value are two different things, but both are perceived by the purchaser based on their wants, needs and desires. To me, I agree with Jimbo - here is Aust, they are over priced due to LCT... Take the LCT out of the equation, and I'd then say that they are worth it compared to the Australian offerings and present good value on a performance / luxury basis. With the pricing incl LCT, it just faaarrrks up the whole thing.
The value of a brand however is not easily determined and is strictly a personal point of view. Companies continually talk about brand value and to some, it means $millions.
