"The CLK 430, although not branded as such, is in fact also an AMG model."

What is the basis of this statement? Is this simply based on the use of AMG bodystyling, or are there AMG drivetrain parts used but are not branded as such? I have never seen the CLK 430 mentioned as part of any AMG lineup, which with few exceptions, always includes an AMG engine assembled in Affalterbach.Renn208 04:49, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

The CLK 430 is not an AMG model, although it can be selected with the AMG body package and rims. However, it will not have the AMG engine, exhaust system, powertrain, or brake package the CLK55 comes with. It will also not say AMG on the back of the car, steering wheel, speedo, rotors, caliper, engine bay, duel exhaust tips, etc.
