Unfortunately I not able to get a good picture of this rare vehicle, but I saw a CLS300 on the road today.

My guess is that this car probably rear ended and had some work done at a shop that didn't know what kind of model it was. I believe they send you the "C" "L" "S" "3" "0" "0" when you order the badges for a C300 and expect you to use what you need.

Seeing that the rest of the car is stock as well as being a luxury version, the owner probably not an enthusiast and doesn't even know that his badges are incorrect.

I think someone else over in a different subforum posted a CLS300 as well. And as Shake said, it was the same reason it was posted. Seeing as the driver of the car in the previous post was a middle aged woman, I'm sure she didn't know any better :/

Haha I saw the same exact thing a couple days ago. I was really confused when I saw it also.

I hope she didn't buy it thinking it was a CLS, the $80,000 4 door coupe!

Lol oh wow... yeah its kind of crazy how some of us are such enthusiasts and know all the small details of our car.

Its kind of how I feel when I talk to my gf bout my car...

I always wondered... service advisors should pick one car and become damn well accustomed to it. Have an advisor for all the different models... not tha they would have to write up only that model but it would be nice if they knew more about our cars.

Two visits t mbz about a oem bi xenon headlamp pointing too high without it getting fixed... turns out the adjuster screw is in plain sight under the plastic shield held by expanding rivets. SA I emailed didn't even know about it.

My initial reaction was "poser," but you guys are probably right. The guy probably has no idea of what he has.
