they use a BASE of a Mercedes means that they modify it. There is a difference between Tuner and manufacturer you know. If Brabus is a car manufacturer and not a tuner company, they'd be designing their car from the ground up already instead of buying base cars from Mercedes. Brabus, Lorinser, and Carlsson are all TUNERS like AMG. Brabus don't just buy the shell, btw. They still have to get a base car with virtually no options from Mercedes-Benz and strip it down in order to modify it and fit it w/ Brabus's own stuff.Bentley was a sister company of Rolls Royce it's a totally different story from the Brabus/MB relationship.
hope you'll get the idea.

I would also bet 95% of the people who buy high po tires couldnt truly evaluate and know the difference between a $200 S03 and $110 Falken Ziex. BTW, Falken also makes a great R compound tire, the Azenis.
