Anyone think the GLC facelift lights look terrible?

I know i know, whenever a facelift comes everyone says its terrible, just because its different from what they have. After a year everyone loves it.

Im hoping its that situation here, but as a non-owner I think the facelift is terrible, only because it seems to make the car way more generic on the front end. The current front end has enough uglyness to keep it unique and stand out from the crowd, but the new ones look very soft and generic, almost japanese...

It does certainly bring the car inline with the GLE, but not a fan. Maybee with the AMG bodykit it will still look the business like the current one.

What do you guys think?

Not a fan of the new look. My opinion is Mercedes should have done like Nissan did years back...change the GLE to look more like the GLC like Nissan changed the Maxima to look like the Altima.

GLC AMG my opinion is one of the hottest vehicles around. My wife has never been a car person she loves the car, and couldn’t be happier. She thinks I will take it from her(:

I think the GLC43 is the hottest looking suv.
We looked at the coupe however the 43 suv we bought has the 21in wheels and the full led headlights.
Only problem is I bought a new truck and my wife took the truck and gave me the AMG.
Glad she did now see hauls all the yard stuff in the truck . :-)

I think it depends which spec of lights you select. Some of the ones pictures in these spy shots don't look bad.

I’m sure as the lights get smaller the grill will enlarge. They look good but I think the first year GLC will be timeless

I'll wait to see the final product before judging completely, but the lights in your link look better to me due to the fact they don't have that middle bar running through the lights like the pic posted by darkus. WTF is that??
