They chose to hide the exhaust like was done on the original W163. Not a fan. Only option is to go aftermarket (Brabus, etc.) and replace the rear exhaust section and rear valance.

I was told, and this sounds a bit phony to me, that the exhaust tips were under the car because there were too many customer complaints of the tips rusting making the back end look bad.

With stainless steel tips that Mercedes uses that is not typically an issue. With untipped pipes that would be.
