I can see some M and GL owners loving this.

They'll have to pay me to put that shit on my MB. Hell, if it's part of a package they will inevitably shove down your throat, i'll pay to have it removed if it's an "always on" feature.

I like it actually. Works perfectly with the Mercedes star. Wouldn't work with other emblems...

It does not remain illuminated. From what I've read, it's a welcome light feature akin to the door handle lights/puddle lights on our Bimmers.

Ricey? LOL Toyota has this for some time already. I don't see what is ricey (Race Inspired Cosmetic Enhancements) in an illuminated badge. Rather bling-bling. If it were a BMW everybody would love it. In facts BMW already did it, well not the badge but the kidney grill.

If it were a BMW, I feel people would hate it even more. I loved the Mercedes star and "if it ain't broke, don't fix it"
