Definitely looks off - maybe it's just the light combined with the camera phone??

I'll bet MBUSA has a whole slew of new S500s that had to have their badges re-set to S550!!

If you can picture the badge in 3 dimensions as it curves around the side,
the 'S' and the '0' are in line.
The middle '5' looks to be dropped a bit too low & just a tad too close to
the first '5'.

I can't believe that sorry looking mass of crap would be the sat. radio antenna! That thing looks worse than the first one they tried to drill on top of my trunk. I refused and found a 2 x 2 magnet mount that you can barely see that works just fine.

Mercedes all the way!
the explanation for the S and 0 being lower is simple: this is a "cool" way of writing, with certain numbers lower than the others - 5, 9, 3 - basically, numbers that have a "lower portion".
if you have a font like calibri, try typing S550, you will notice that "55" is lower than the "S" and the "0" - it's by design.
in fact, if you looked up the S-class brochure thread (somewhere in this section of the forum), the brochure is completely in that sort of font as well!
