This evening on Route 17 north in Paramus, NJ. Never seen it "in the wild" before. Impression? Eh

I'm personally not a fan. It looks so gaudy. Too each his own I guess.

Peachy

Saw a CLA with it yesterday, looked cheesy.

Love the illuminated star. Makes the car look classy. Would not own one without it. I personally do not like yellow gaudy fog lights below the headlights. Kind of makes the car Cheesy. But then to each there own.

Wookii

I don't see other manufacturers copying this tacky thing EVER. Well maybe Kia.

PeterUbers

not a fan

Were I looking for a car, I would not pay extra for the illuminated star. But if I found the exact car I wanted and it had the illuminated star, I would not turn away from the car either. Not my cup of tea, but not a deal breaker. It's not like Audi's LED daytime running light design which really took off and has been used by many other manufacturers since.

I've seen a couple on the road - thought it was a subtle accent. Nothing major. Felt more sporty than classy.

Just installed mine last weekend, so far loving it. I could always turn it off if I ever felt like that.

The first time I saw it (on a CLA) I thought "Wow, he will probably double park in the front of the parking lot"

Not a fan. Seems overly pretentious, as if owning a MB didn't already put you in that category lol

BBB78

I see it's a $550 option on the new E300.


Ugly and expensive.

No thanks...but we all have different tastes so I don't hate on 'em...just happy to not have one for myself.

That Mercedes three pointed star is already oversized, there is really no need to light it up to let people know you drive a Mercedes. What's next? The Mercedes logo will spin around with different color lights.

Timeplson

That's not the point! The facelift has led strip DRLs, which look modern. So, the LED star gives fresh look to prefacelifts, making it look modern.

MBSebas87

Can't barely see it sometimes. It's alright

The G Man

I am sorry, but making your car look like a Christmas tree on wheels is not modern.

M~Factor

I like it.

ElisTwoCents

Not a fan either.

IMHO seems like something people buy at Autozone from the discount bin and wire into their cars.

The G Man

I agree, its got Ebay written all over it.

Timeplson

That's what I thought too until I saw one in person.

PaulE550

Not a fan, but I guess some people like that sort of thing. To each his own.

I liked the lighted star in their commercial. I saw one live and liked it a lot. I added it to my car.

It is a unique feature...

designzio

As if the big *** grille star wasn't tacky enough, you needed to add a light to it?

What's next, gold chains with lights?

The G Man

I guess the illuminated star is for people who like to draw attention to themselves. Hey, look, in case if you haven't notice, I drive a Mercedes.

jjsaustin

I'm not sure it's any different then the led headlights meant to make the car different. Maybe we should all go back to round headlights of the 60's...

It's just a Mercedes... It's not that special of a car or different from other cars like Lexus, BMW, Audi, Jaguar, etc... They are all trying to find a way to stand out
