Theres one floatig around here somewhere, I'll try to find it and get a pic next week.
One of the advisors here said it definitly another dealerships identification. Either R&H in Baltimore or one down in Richmond, he couldn't remember which.

Why would a diesel be badged as a flex fuel vehicle. Also Mercedes is only putting flex fuel in the C class. .
I've never seen the "*" but now I want to know what it means. I will keep an eye out for one. --Matt

Well if that's true it has definately served its purpose in getting our attention.

I think a dealer is doing it in your area. I have not seen one and there are a million late model MB's in my area.
If a dealer is doing it, it sure worked like a charm!

I just saw another in Pittsburgh today, a C220*. The rest were seen in DC Metro.
Yeah, the flex fuel doesn't fit for the CDI, & I've seen two of those... If it's a dealer I'll be pissed.

We'll I'm afraid that we will be pissed. I had way to much time on my hands and decided to search for Mercedes dealers in the DC area. Lo and Behold I found Mercedes of Alexandria LINK . If you look at the link you will see an S430 that appears to have an "*" after it's name. It's hard to see but you can see something in a lot of their used car pictures. I tried to blow up the image size but they are crappy pictures so it still looks blurry and none of the shots are of the straight backs.
This is my detective work for the night; wdba123190 let me know if this could be what you saw. --Matt EDIT: i've attached a pic; it is kinda hard to make out but something is there. I feel like a UFO nut trying to prove his point.

OK. I finally proved it. It's MB of Alexandria. F those guys.
I hate corporate pulling one over on me. C'est la vie. I took pics to prove it but can't get them from my phone onto the computer now... I really hate it when they get me like this....
