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.

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

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.
