i agree, i wouldn't rebadge mine, but all those facts and the fact that the car is i believe composed of 66% mercedes parts makes it somewhat, you know, viable to be considered a benz. i don't think its rice to label a is300 an alteza or a 86 corolla a trueno or things like that. its just a matter of preference. if people feel the need to change the label on the car, i guess it makes them feel better or something, more power to you. i just wouldn't do it personally.
