Nice find. Super jealous of the rear climate controls wtf MB USA. That looks like a Euro spec GLC as the headlights are missing the amber lenses for the USA market.

I also want that rear diffuser, spoiler and AMG cutout exhaust tips. This truck is definitely going be bad ***.

I love it. It looks very aggressive in person.

I'm getting the GTR and I'm getting my wife the GLC63.

Great garage. I have The GLC63S Coupe on order for my wife too.

GTR is a stunning car. I'm sure you'll love it. I'd consider the GTR too if they made it with AWD. But as is I prefer my 911 Turbo S.

Option 846 Brushed Aluminum Running Boards.

BTW If you look closely, the picture above also shows the roof spoiler that you were thinking about.

I don't know about the vertical either, it may just be that i'm not used to it ?

I love the vertical slats. Really sets it apart from the rest of the lineup.

Definitely sets it apart.. but maybe meaner if the slats were black... to me it reminds me of an ugly deep sea creature.

While I don't mind the Panamericana grill... the one issue I have with it is... if they were split up into, say, kidney grills... they would remind me of an older car I had, from another brand... say... like this image (taken randomly off the internet for example purposes). Obviously there are distinct differences and the merc is more prominent, that's just what pops into my mind.

I don't see any resemblance to the BMW grille and I would know since I have owned 8 BMWs.

The Panamericana grill will be THE AMG grille going forward. They are drawing from their racing history and differentiating Mercedes-AMG from Mercedes-Benz.

Here is where it comes from



Meanwhile the sport grille on non AMG products will also stay the same as it is the classic non-racing sport grill.

^^ which is fine if you don't. My last several cars have been BMW's and as stated, if they were split into two kidney shapes that's just what the vertical slats remind me of. I'm aware of the heritage. I don't dislike them, I'm just done with those slats for awhile.
