Haha - "Ferrari" would have nailed the point home I think...

It is pretty funny to see people trying to perpetrate the "Fake Rolex Syndrome" as described above. It's not all that common over here in Japan. What IS common, though, is to see AMGs, Brabus, Lorinsers, Ferraris, Lamborghinis, Aston Martins, Lotuses, and quite a few Bentleys driving around town. Oh, yeah, and a couple of Maybachs, too. It's fun to go downtown on a weekend and just look at cars (yeah, okay, and skirts).

With regard to debadging, I personally think that sometimes it cleans up the lines and makes a car prettier.

Whereabouts in Japan are you based?

I'm in Nagoya. Feel free to PM me. (Don't wanna hijack the thread.)

Oh, yeah, I forgot Carlsson... sorry.

It was real in the sense that it was actually on the road in front of me at the lights but in terms of the model...

I actually saw it again the following day - the grille and everythign was a nice shade of faded gold spray as well...
