Buy Merc of cos must have the target in front la. Otherwise how to bang ppl down?

 

Abantgart is popular in sg. Ppl wanto pretend be AMG.

AMG line is another way for Merc to milk more money for those real AMG wannabe.

I think otherwise.  Avantgarde is to milk more money by charging more $$$ for a few trim.

 

On the hand, AMG line includes suspension & Brake (i think) upgrade.

I think still selling, just that not many choose the elegance trim these days.

There may be a simpler reason, Elegance (is it called Exclusive now?) is more expensive than Avantgarde. Edited December 5, 2017 by Toeknee_33

Remind me about it, just need 2 more passengers and it will scrtach the undercarriage when drive through even a simple humps. But looks like they are no longer selling the elegance model ?

 

Hahaha... I drive a W212 Avantgarde and I originally blamed the CSC3 tyres (soft sidewall).  After I changed to PS4, it was better but still it happens when fully loaded.

Whether Avantgarde or Elegance, it is just trim.

 

Only AMG LINE has stiffer suspension.

Perhaps my SE has misrepresented, was told the suspension is lower for the W212 Avantgarde relative to the Elegance trim.

W211 Avantgarde is definitely lower. W212 Avantgarde should be lowered too.

The W212 AG for $10,000 more over Elegance, is lightly lowered by 2" (I think), has 4-spoke steering wheel, bigger wheel with low profile tyres, and a different coloured instrument binnacle.

And the headlights are a little different too, IIRC.

Correct. Arrowhead running lights vs strip. And not forgetting ventilated disc brakes on AG.

the extra 10k is more for the intelligent LED headlight and nicer looking rims.
