Looks like US Spec due to bumperettes.

nice US spec showing up already! I also notice the amber LED dot in the headlights, that might had also helped us identify it being the US spec as well.

Digging this colour in this lighting as well.

I understand the bumperettes might be a deal breaker for some, thankfully this one doesn't seem too bad, I wish they put the ones on the C238 though, the taillights and the bumperettes looks very elegant (dare I say) and looks like a face, the taillights being the eyes and the bumperettes looks like a mustache instead of something intrusive.

I prefer these. The smaller the better, and much less noticeable. Nothing is as bad as the CLS bumperettes though.

The US regulations make no sense. God forbid we have flat bumpers around the plates, but a Tesla yoke passes with flying colors.

Which ones you mean you prefer the ones on the CLE over the Ecoupe or was it the other way around.

Speaking of awful, the current gen CLA has pretty intrusive bumperettes imo.

The bumperettes have nothing to do with safety. Regulators gave in to the US insurance lobby to mandate the bumperettes to reduce damage caused by 5 mph or less impacts, so they can pay higher bonuses to their execs.

Might be just the angle though, and the lighting but what do you hate about it? The way it slopes?

I agree. Hard to tell from one shot.

Really fan of this car and the real life photos is just icing on the cake, with the lights off it really looks like a light bar and like an EQ model, EQS and EQE, I guess that was MB's intention.

Could be a test vehicle wearing a different bumper. The same page also posted a GLC coupe with an AMG-Line grill on a Luxury-Line bumper.

Looks to be a prototype wearing an AMG Bumper in the front and Avantgarde in the back.

Not the most flattering of packages IMO. Not nearly as nice looking as others we've seen, looks boring.
