C 43 AMG Facelift

Not seeing a whole lot of differences between this and the sport version of the facelifted C300 we saw earlier last week (grilles different from the C300 - but they already do this today).
Honestly, I'm not certain I'm feeling the way the front bumper looks now that we see in person shots and not the car at a photoshoot. I also think the existing taillights are miles better than these facelifted ones although i haven't seen them lit up so can't say definitively but i think the current taillights look waaay better.
Also definitely not feeling the rounded exhaust tips - they look like they're somewhat of an aftermarket addon and do not blend in nicely with the design language of the car (obviously subjective but i think the oval exhaust tips flow better with the look of the car - it seems like these new ones just stand out for the sake of standing out and haven't been properly incorporated with the design language of the car.)
I guess us current owners should be happy that the facelift isn't a completely drastic change from the current model (having flashbacks of the E class facelift in 2014 lol), do you know if they mentioned anything about the engine and any kind of HP bumps?

Yea I wasn't too excited about seeing the round exhausts on the CLS53 tbh just because it was completely different than any of the existing models (pretty sure they all have the oval exhausts now), but then again it was a completely new car so I guess it was justified - this is more of a subjective thing anyways.
Are they already taking pre-orders for the facelifts already? Were you able to see the HP numbers when you spec'd yours out? Any word on delivery date?

Is there an error on the first picture?
On this thread: https://mbworld.org/forums/c450-c43-...acelift-2.html
It shows that the grille has changed on the 2019 C43. The paint also matches the picture of the car with badges.
The first pic here might be of the 2019 C300 Sport...

Anyways, is there any info on the coupe?

The green one is not missing the badging on the side.
Basically C300s are getting the current C43 Grill
2019 C43 getting the "Twin Blade" Grill which is the older AMG grill like the the CLS53
The C63s are most likely going to be the Vertical grill.

Headlights look crazy ( in a good way) don't like how thin the front lip is, dont like the front vents, love the side front bumper vents, love the rear diffuser and tips

Those taillights light-up at night are gonna look like Nissan Sentra tail lights with the out-facing U. The new front bumper and the taillights look much better right now!!

after looking more at it. i am not for or against it. Just the next model. I think i prefer the older headlights. exhaust is cool but i would still put the c63 exhaust on over this. overall i am happy with my car still will wait to see what w206 brings.

The more I look at the exhaust tips and rear diffuser the more I like them. Gives the car a lot more character.
