Over the years, MB cars' design has to grow on me but it eventually does.
Previously, the moment MB cars were revealed and I am like wow.

Seems like times has changed.

Why is the lighted area of the tail light so much smaller than the tail light lens? The tail lights looks like sometime bought from Ebay.

This may just be a US/Canada market complaint, but I'd rather not have lit-up old Dodge logos in my new Mercedes taillights. ;p

The new E class tail lights are almost as bad as the new Mini rear signal lights which is a light up arrow pointing in the wrong direction.

What’s old is new again…Dodge is bringing it back…

https://www.edmunds.com/car-news/his...-dodge-ev.html

So it’s an even stranger choice for MB to make.

I guess but they want to represent themselves as British brand (well... used to) British brands are generally expensive ie. Rolls Royce and Bentley and Range Rover etc.
They want to um... fit in?

I don't know of a British owned brand. Range Rover is owned by Tata; Bentley is owned by Volkswagon; Rolls Royce and Mini are both owned by BMW.

"Ownership of Aston Martin is split between several individuals and private equity firms, including: 33% ownership by Investindustrial, a European private equity firm. 28% ownership by Kuwait Investor Group. 20% ownership by Canadian billionaire Lawrence Stroll, who also has an investment in the Aston Martin F1 Team."

I hate SUVs but that DBX 707 is on Powerball Wish List! Upgraded AMG TTV8 and old MB COMAND Infotainment.

If the factory is still in the UK, it counts as a British brand to me! Bonus British points if it's hand built in the UK.
