Avantgarde = mix of U.S. Sport & Luxury



Look at the rear bumper on that car, exposed exhaust, but no vents... beautiful trim. Front is just a luxury bumper with a sport grill, not sure about the side skirts. The rear bumper though is a unique piece that I've never seen in the U.S.

The U.S. sport models are nice, but they are too artificial/toyish to me... this avantgarde model is true mercedes beauty and I wish we had it in the U.S.

Closest solution I can think of is a sport grill on a luxury model, and then somehow sourcing a euro rear bumper.

In the end, I will probably just end up owning a U.S. Sport.

I totally agree with your comments. I used to own a 2014 Sport trim and now have a 2016 luxury... The Avantgarde trim is absolutely beautiful!! The perfect happy medium...

I wish I could get the Avantgarde grill to replace the Luxury grill, but the Avantgarde bumper "wraps" around the grill and the luxury doesn't. See photo below.
