WHAT!!! I guess you could justify it by saying that he wanted a benz, but there were no benz's that looked good enough/were nice enough for his taste, so he bought the GS and put MB badges on it

well, at least its not a CL member (i hope) and i am a FIRM believer of "to each, his own"... so if he/she likes, its their car.... but IMO, if it is a member, he should be

Is this as bad as some of us who put the "Aristo" logo and badgings on their US-spec cars or vice versa (people like me who put the L Lexus logos on my previous Aristo because I refuse to be identified with "mere toyotas")?

Think about it.

(by the way, if you must know, putting on that MB logo on their cars mean they are paying the sincerest form of compliments to the german carmaker since owning a german car in Japan is a very very very expensive alternative compared to their "only local" Aristos.....)

Unless, that wasn't in Japan, then the owner should be shot.

Should we send this guy down to Guantanamo Bay?

Just kidding...actually it doesn't LOOK bad, but to put an M-B symbol on a Lexus.....no way.
That's like putting Pamela Anderson Lee in a convent.

I dunno about this one....Maybe the guy/girl who posted the pic is just trying to show that the grill really did come off a MB....the emblem proves it no? plus the guy/girl has another emblem which is on the hood (looks like an autocouture emblem) so I highly doubt he/she is going to drive around with the MB emblem all bling blingin around the grill....... plus the whole car is wet due to rain yet the grill is clean and spotless
