You think there will be an option for a front end without all the repeating logo spam?
Nope

Actually for the first time this generation they put the star on the grille for the S63:
Some nice improvements. 4.5 degree rear axle steering is now standard, Digital Lights are now standard. Power rear seats now standard. The illuminated hood ornament is optional and looks like the AMG Appearance package is indeed standard on the S580...
Hood doesn't meet the grill and lights directly, plastic transitional are makes it more cheap looking...they made it reach the headlights but not grill?!?
Holy Christ we have a LIGHT UP hood Star, we don't need repeating grill starts and headlights. It's starting to give late 90s early 2000s JDM car vibes.
To be clear I don't dislike the lit star at all, but just do that and don't go overboard. Its like people who have a grill logo, front vanity plate holder frame with the brand name, front plate with the brand symbols, and a vinyl banner over the windscreen

My issue is that the S Class, and a Mercedes in general, has always been restrained in terms of its prestige. That simple little three pointed star used to say more when it was just there on the hood...not plastered all over the place. Its obscene. Real prestige speaks quietly.
