That's funny. If the label doesn't matter, why not opt for a less expensive option?

Same reason some (not all!) rich people take some of the badges off their very high end cars. Everyone knows you're driving a Mercedes sedan. No need to be a show off and let everyone know you bought the highest trim AMG, that would be impolite.

You say this in a thread literally about a counterfeit coat. People don't have access to Mercedes-Benz knock-offs.

I'd hazard with luxury vehicles, showing off is part of the appeal.

Higher end Mercs and BMWs have had a "dechrome" in the options list for years. That's paying for removing all model badges.

Indeed, and obvious which are the fancy ones with the v8 without needing to hear it start.
