GT 4-Door Coupé (X290) 2026 AMG GT 4-Door Vision EV

Isn't this design considered dated already for Mercedes?

The original C EV and GLC EV prototypes had this sloping nose with lightbar, before they changed it mid-development to the upright nose with the big grille.

I see that no one can explain the bizarre nature of how such a prominent design element as the light bar, which changes the identity of a car's front end, is left to the customers' discretion. It's the epitome of insecurity: "We made a mistake, or maybe not," you decide...

While I abhor the light bar, I also don't see an issue with giving them a choice. Mercedes offered two grilles on the same car before, no one complained then.

I think there's far more problems with the design than optionality.
