it is actually a good idea, becuase it makes the car move visibale for a further distance and in some countries like Sweden you need to have your lights on by law

I cannot bare daytime running lights, they look ridiculous on Audis (it's like "look at me")let alone Mercedes-Benz...why MB decided to copy this for the new E Class or any other model is beyond me.

...(it's like "look at me")... Yep! That is exactly why daytime running lights improve safety. If DRLs get you to be more aware of the car, your brain may be more inclined to figure that car into your driving calculations (Do I have the time to make a left infront of that vehicle? Is it in my lane? Am I in its lane? etc.) I appreciate those who are trying to make the DRLs more aesthetically pleasing instead of highly annoying. "Dimmed" high beams are annoying. Steady amber indicators are OK. LEDs as on the Citroen DS3 concept, Audis, and others are more interesting. I would like to see something other than the dot-dot-dot matrix of LEDs, however.
