No. It’s called out in the article for potential customers to consider:
”It also appears that Mercedes has removed the "GLS" and "4MATIC" badging from the lift gate, but opted to retain the chrome trim and star emblem as well as the dual polished exhaust tips coming out from under the rear valance.”

Curoius and maybe I missed it, but was OP's GLS totaled out by insurance, or is it repairable?

I believe he was going to get rid of the car even if turns out to be repairable.

There was no update on that so hopefully @interlaced can fill us in!

OP already decided on a CPO (?) and taking delivery once they return. https://www.napleton.news/wp-content...4Matic-007.jpg

Car was deemed total loss by Allstate, to me which was unfortunate as it looks repairable, but decided to get another GLS and lucky found another GLS that is CPO with more features than the totaled vehicle had. It is what it is

Might not be a terrible thing (I mean lets think of the positives), you came out unscathed, you get to enjoy features on this new to you GLS that you wanted but was unavailable during the chip shortage on your original GLS.

OP states they are from the USA in their public profile. In the case of the option might be because of model year differences on what is standard. How come rear seat entertainment is not an option in your area is it in the pinnacle trim (if that is the thing, maybe that is why)?
No, they absolutely did not remove the badging. I'd love to see that literature you have, as that is most definitely inocrrect. MB has always debadged the cars that are pictured for the reveal. But they're on the regular cars.

There’s no reason to specifically call out badge removal in a new gen reveal unless its news.
