When I went to pick up my test drive car today, this was sitting in the showroom.

why doesn't it have any AMG badges on it?

Quite a few of the BMW's and MB's here dont have a badge on them, why I cant tell you - however I suspect it is so the owner can play around with other cars and not have them know what kind of car they are going up againts. My '00 BMW 530d doesn have a badge on it either, it never did.

Well the CLS 55 I saw at Winston-Salem had a badge. Prolly becuase the licence plate has a badge, a lot of show cars aren't badged.

The car in this picture isnt a show car, I spotted this one at a MB dealership in downtown Stuttgart (next to a whole bunch of the new "S" Class's which I'll get pictures of today)

German car producers arbitrarily don't put any badges on some of their cars.

i know that many of the regular mercedes' 320's 280's 500's 430's and so on, often don't get the badges, but supposedly, each AMG-destined mercedes is supposed to go to the factory, where they put a badge on each one.

When you order the car you can ask to have it or not have it depend on what you prefer and it's free

If you live in france even if you a have a 55 amg you want the people to belieeve you have the smallest engine. The reason is culture and jalousy and avoid problems you don't want to show of.
