Saw this at the red light today must be that new Mercedes/Chinese/Japanese hybrid AMG that I keep hearing about

 

That partial "K" emblem on the trunk lid (and it appears to be genuine) is the old Kia logo, before they switched to the current red/black oval in the U.S. Someone is apparently trying to pull your leg with that AMG badging....and possibly with those wheels/tires.

 

He'll be glad he's paying a kia's price when he sees how much it costs for any mb AMG service

We have a SO CAL FAIL section fully dedicated for these

 

You realize that O.L.T. is being sarcastic right??

 

Either that or photoshopping LOL. Still, a lot of people aren't aware that partial "K" is the old Kia logo......thought I'd at least menton it.

 

Hey even MB is doing, putting the logo on stuff like C430's. BMW is liberally using the M badge on non M cars. Everything and anything to sell.

When the Buick Pep Boys/Three Stooges portholes were popular (I don't see them as often today), I even saw a BMW 335is with them stuck on the fenders.

 

Infiniti sometimes used the Buick-style portholes on its own products, straight from the factory.

 

Performance on his AMG were not what you’d expect. The exhaust leak was a nice touch.

 

Is that correct? I didn't think it was the "old" logo but rather the Korean market logo.

 

In the U.S. market, they use the newer red or black oval, similar to Ford's blue one. But your point is taken.

 

I seen a Toyota solara at the gastation and he switched the Toyota badge for a lexus on the front and back

He was really trying to pull it off

By the way I remember you O.L.T from the sc400 forums yearsssss ago , nice to see ur still around

 

Clearly it's a C65 test mule. Rather than put the real car under baggy camouflage, they decided the best way to hide it was to bolt on body work from a crappy old Kia. No one will ever suspect!

 

Just saw a 13’ ish C63 amg coupe the other day, but funny the dude put a CLS63 on the rear, along with the 63 badges on the fenders, I couldn’t help but laughing so hard...

 

I saw a 12th gen F-150 with Lincoln badges a few weeks ago. Looks like the guy was trying to go for a Mark LT look. Definitely wasn't factory since the Mark LT only coexisted with the 11th gen F-150.

 

Its actually not. That is the KDM logo, Kia never used that logo in the US. Some people choose to replace the Kia logo with that.
