That's because its a mix of random packages. AMG bumper (not AMG-Line) in the front, Avantgarde tailpipes in the back, base aero wheels on the side. I have a feeling the US will likely get AMG-Line standard like the E-Class. This is definitely a prototype/pre-production frankenstein car.

Definitely not, that bumper matches the AMG SL, Avantgarde would not be that aggressive.

Yeah I would normally agree with you but the AMG bumpers usually have more visually height and from the profile picture the bumper matches the side skirt.

I don't think I've seen an official non-amg equipped car either.

The same page also posted a GLC Coupe that had an AMG-Line Grill on top of an Avantgarde bumper testing. The CLE here is likely similar to that GLC wearing a mix of different parts as a frankenstein pre-production car.

I didn't drive it, these are just instagram posts and screenshots. You will find out later in September when the embargo drops.

No more MB:(
53 I6 will likely be the sweet spot if they decide to go 2.0 liter 63.

Looks like I was wrong. This is one of the most aggressive avantgarde bumpers I've seen in years.

This trim (Decorative elements metal mixed fabric light silver) looks like what you used to get in the ISF

Good find, I am surprised how nice the standard trim looks already when clicking your link, even with the standard reflector lights without the digital light tech.
