Because of this, I'm going to need to carry a reference guide with me in order to distinguish AMG models from "AMG sport" models when I see them on the street. It's hard enough given the subtle, if not non-existent body changes between the two lines. Now we need to memorize various model codes and numbers. I can see it now: a thread titled "raced an AMG (or was it?) and won".
