Now I suppose this is down to personal preference but I seen a C class bluetec hybrid the other day and looked at the badging on the back and thought what's the point. To me it seems like far to many letter for the back of a car. Thoughts?
All it needs is a AMG badge on there and the whole alphabet is sorted.
