Description: Could we be looking at a new trend here? In addition to Rolls and Benz, the Striker emblem on the back of the SRT Viper glows as a third brake light, and Ford has been toying with a projected Mustang ...

"Mercedes-Benz has offered the star for years. Now we're charging you thousands of dollars for a couple of LEDs to make it light up, until they burn out in six months anyway. But you're rich, so what do you care?"
How can you even use the word tacky when describing a Mercedes ? I think it looks great
I was expecting it to look cheap and tacky but i have to say i kind of like it...
I'm sure RR was a strong influence on this but I also think that the giant Mercedes Emblem that sits on top of the train station in Stuttgart, Germany had something to do with it. It lights up at night
It'd be cool if it still glows after I rip it off and put on a chain to wear around my neck
I mean its not bad if your just unlocking your car etc, but I wouldn't drive around with it on it would look totally stupid.
It's like bright red brake calipers, no real purpose but look cool. Mainly just to get ur attention by saying "LOOK AT ME I'M BETTER OFF THAN YOU!!"
It would be cool if it lit up when you locked/unlocked the doors but otherwise it's kinda tacky
Something else for people to vandalize. It'd be cool if you could do it while driving.
@brandon, yes, that may be so, but that doesn't make it look good
Oh yeah, that's subtle! *rolls eyes* real classy, MB lol
I'd like to see this on the s class
So basically, to any car jackers, see the star, go jump in the car!
Ya I know Brandon. But if they didn't have that extra 1 by 1 inch brake light it wouldn't really matter
It's cool
Riley Di Pol it would glow the same way your headlights do when you unlock your car. It's called locator lighting. It would only turn on when you deliberately hit the unlock button and turns off for a couple of seconds
Actually Rolls-Royce has offered it for years.
This way it will be easier to break into the car cause you will know if it's unlocked or not
Not only do I like it, I'm getting it for my clk!
That's actually really cool.
That's dumb
On the viper it acts as a brake light so it has a purpose
It's not awful, it's just lame and pointless. The same goes for the new viper also.
So it illuminates when the engine is off or the doors are unlocked? As tacky as it is, it should at least light up when ur driving along.
Yeah this is tacky as hell. It's one thing when Rolls-Royce does it, still tacky, but for Benz to offer it too? That's trying too hard. Like putting HIDs on a '91 corolla or something
I also think is gonna come across cheap.
You can find these in the after market for just about any brand. Nothing new. IMO a bit tacky.
It won't be offered in the s class?
(Sigh) Is this the new trend like LED's? In a year Honda will offer the same damn thing.
