LOVE the hood ornament. You sure that's not a British classic? That fits like socks on a rooster (as my uncle used to say).

I agree... Mercedes should rinse them for that sh#t!!!

I am hoping that Mercedes didn't sell them some of the CLK's design... which is unfortunately what it looks like!

typically as long as they do not try to sell in EU, they are left alone, at least my understanding is that this was the case with the SMART copy

Some Asian manufacturer imported a bunch of 1st gen ML looking knock-offs into the Middle East a while ago as well, don't see too many around anymore.
