front Bumper different for NA?
Hey guys, I couldn't figure out why the GLC with AMG package looked odd when I checked it out at the dealership the other day until I compared pics to the EURO models.
Our front "chrome piece" is weird and makes the car look higher off the ground
. I know this isn't a big deal but it's actually a dealbreaker for me. anyone else notice this?

Blame the US government. By having these approach angles, the GLC is classified as a truck and is counted in that category for average mileage. If they used the shallower approach/departure angle bumper, it would be counted as a car.

Would love to see source, I was thinking more insurance crash testing mandates front bumper must cost XXX to replace, might have been a cost reduction.
