For the people who like the look of the AMG but don't want to fork out the cash, Mercedes will offer AMG Line vehicles which will look like the real AMG but not have the performance to back it up. As much as this sounds like a douchy thing, consider that Audi already has the S Line and BMW has the M Sport trim and they are accepted by most. This was a natural progression for Mercedes.

The German brand intends to showcase the new AMG-Line version of its newly-redesigned C-Class sports sedan during the North American International Auto Show next month, in Detroit.
AMG Line vehicles are not actual AMG models but rather an in-between for buyers who like the more aggressive look of the AMG cars.
The C AMG will include:
- More aggressive bumper styling;
- Larger air intakes;
- Side skirts;
- Firmer suspension;
- 18-inch AMG rims.
It is the same for the interior which also received a sportier look and feel. The Future Mercedes-Benz C AMG will be available with several different power plants.
