It seems that these little changes are not so much cosmetic in themselves as intended to accomplish some of what other more effective and easier mods might accomplish but also make the car "uglier" in the eyes of potential buyers. I'm thinking here about the comments about that .20 Cd camaro up above a few posts back in this thread. That car mainly used a thoughtfully designed but "garish" front airdam. Mercedes wouldn't want one of those on the new b-class!

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
