Well AMG does incorporate the age of their prospective buyers in the car name.
Previous Generation:
E55 - 55 Average age of these buyers
SLK55 - Average age of the wife / girlfriend's car
SL55 - Average age of the guy who thinks the SL is cool
SL65 - Average age of a guy who needs the biggest and baddest AMG
Current Generation
E63 - The E55 owner is now older and needs a replacement
SLK63 - The E55 owner's girlfriend / wife's age and needs a new convertible
SL 63 - Average age of the guy who thinks the SL is cool
SL 65 - Average age of a guy who needs the biggest and baddest AMG
AMG Black edition - bought by a guy who has lots of money but secretly cherishes a big block Chevy but his wife won't allow the Chevy to be parked at the house
