It costs nothing to remove the model for most premium makes so most people do. Granted, the most downmarket car I've ever owned was a Volkswagen.

Not because I'm rich - because I torture myself with ridiculously depreciated German cars so I can get more luxury out of €3000 than a brand new €50000 car lol

Most people do not remove the model/badge on their car. You might. But I guarantee if you walked out side right now, and look at cars at an intersection or parked on the side, they'll have the model name on them.

Like half of all cars I see have their model badges. Maybe fewer. Which is why it's weird to me that people take this for granted.

You'll see them on cheap cars or really high end cars (if it's an AMG, you're probably the kinda person who wants others to know), but otherwise most people seem to remove them when ordering the car.

Personally I haven't removed any badges because I've never ordered a new vehicle myself. But it's usually taken IMO. When I was looking at newer (not brand new) MBs, I'd usually go look up the build sheet and nearly all had the debadge option selected.

The debadge will still leave the manufacturer logo on so the car is still an advertisement lol
