If they met all the safety standards, looked nice and were good to drive I honestly couldn’t care less about the badge, I try to get the most for the least, that’s why the MG HS appealed so much to me.
I have a mate who spends around £400 a month on a Mercedes GLA(I think) lease and he’s only done 2-3k miles in almost 2 years coz he has a work van.
But he just had to have that badge sitting outside his house, his money of course but I just don’t get it.
