EDIT: If you had a 300C, would you take of the 300C emblem and make it a E570? or the SRT-8 version a E61? Because the LX shares the platform of the old E class.
the ill informed are not fooled at all... no one is fooled calling an acura a honda is the truth and nothing, but the truth... calling the crossfire a mercedes is also just about as accurate as you can get... and as you say changing emblems in order to fool the ill informed would be something like me putting an aston martin badge on my car or all the 300c (s) with the bentley badges that i am starting to see rather frequently under your definition... that would be rice...
and no I would not rebadge the 300c because being based on a platform is not nearly enough to be considered a make of that specific company... but if it had the engine of the mercedes as well as a creation in the same plant than yes I would consider it mercedes and not chrysler... and would likely debadge the car of any chrysler emblems... as they had little to do with the building of the car...
again I state that AMG Lover, me and others who share similar views are not liars and are not misinformed or attempting to misinform anyone we are just staying true to what the car is who it is made by and where it is produced.. and once again I state that i am not fond of any kind of "rice", activities, but believe that we are only presenting ourselves as people who are proud of what the car is, who made it, what parts were used, and where the car was made...
