Emblem

Why do some Benz's have the emblem up and some are flush. I thought at first it was sport and luxury difference, but that was proven wrong.

I do not belive, please provide supporting scientific data.

So is there no real reason? Any Benz employees? Does this come with maybe a wood package vs. other interior?
