I don't think I've had any cars tell you which model they are on the back. It's usually opt-out for most brands and for every car I've owned, the first owner has opted out. Maybe my first car, an Audi 80, had a model designation. If not, it had an engine designation at least. But the rest haven't had either.
I have no idea what you're talking about. Other than Teslas, I almost never see a model of car that doesn't tell me its model:
This is a BMW i8. I can tell, because it says BMW and i8 on the back:
This is a Honda Accord. I can tell, because it says Honda and Accord on the back:
This is a Tesla. I can tell because it says Tesla on the back.
What model Tesla? Well, guess I'll have to go look that up when I'm not driving.
Most of my cars have been old German cars. They have badge delete as a factory option and most people take it, it seems. Particularly on low spec models with 2 liter engines where if you opt for the badge delete, it looks the same as the big V8 models lol
Badge delete is always an option on higher end cars. I didn't have a badge on my M135i. Who the fuck cares what car I'm driving anyway, if they want me to advertise they product my fee is 100€ a month. Same with logos on t-shirts.
So, it did not say what manufacturer then?
Have you never seen any cars before. 99% of them have the car company and the model on them.
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
