This is nothing new. Check out the old SL and CL. They all have BIG MB Star

I actually like this vehicle it's pretty useful and roomy...if it's reliable i'd get one didn't know a GL550 was in the works.

Any larger and it would be a rim! A few years back some rapper would be wearing this on a chain . . .

When I take a look at the side, it started to look a little Jeepish to me an that grill a little Chrysler like...that separation between those companies couldn't come any quicker.

I guess I can't pick on the Escalade anymore for having the biggest "in yo face" badging.

If I owned that I would modify the grill so the big emblem spun in the wind like a pinwheel when the truck was in motion. I'd have to weight the bottom a little so it would come to rest at the right angle.
