Every time I click on a posted pic here, my chrome browser says it is from an unsecure server (ibserv.net). I can't post pics from my windows computer here for the same reason, so I gave up tying to view or post images here a long time ago....

Thank you, Wolfman. 1- I thought the AMGs had vertical grill. 2-this pic was from the New York International Autu Show and hence I’m wondering what’s a ‘16 model doing there? Anyway, hence my question of ‘what is this’. Again, thanks for the clarification. Appreciate you knowledge.

My pleasure. The vertical grill (panamerica grill) started for model year 2018. I agree, showing an older model at a car show is unusual. At smaller shows they sometimes pull dealer inventory but not that one... Nice car either way
