I'm largely indifferent to the new grill..... and that comes from someone with their car 3-weeks away from delivery, after expressly being told no changes until 2018.
Both looks have heritage, yet both appeal in completely different ways, yet after being told it was a "surprise move by the factory, after an overwhelmingly positive reception" *, I honestly don't know
Would I wait another 5-months for the facelift coupe - no.
Would I pay for a grill retro fit - probably not.
Will it attract additional buyers - doubtful.
Could MB have waited for the "proper" facelift in 2018 - I think so.
Would I have cancelled on the back of this irritating my wait - yes and I also tried to setup some p/x deals, just incase
* as if the factory had a say..... marketing talk for the sales guys thought it'd sell better

Annoying thing is the factory was asked, upon my instruction, about facelifts in 2017, they said no and now apparently insist my question didn't covert model year change, which is what this is being called.
WTF

Been down that path, but its not a straightforward case..... I'm in a small market, AMG GT is a special order model.... with a prerequisite huge deposit

In CA dealers can not hold your deposit by law, even if you signed "non-refundable" deposit piece. Once you ask for a refund, there is nothing they can do. But you have to check with your local regulations of course, and see if signed "non-refundable deposit" form.

.... but I'm definitely not as well protected... local "consumer protection" legislation is geared towards the consumption of rotten produce
