2017 Grand Sport heading to Rüsselsheim, Germany - Export Version Pics
I spotted this 2017 Grand Sport export version on display in front of the Bowling Green Assembly this weekend. It's heading to Rüsselsheim, Germany soon. The pics help show how big the side mirrors actually are. Pretty cool seeing one outside the plant since the only ones I've ever seen in person are a few inside the plant while on various plant tours.

Love the Turn Signal Indicators and the Headlamp Washers.
Seems odd why they would not be available in the U.S. cars.
Are the taillights different from the U.S. version?

I think the export version has yellow LEDs in the rear turn-signals, instead of red, but the rear lamps do not look any different from the outside when the lights are off. Yellow rear turn signal are required in Germany.
The headlight washers are also required in Germany, if the car has HIDs.

Pretty neat and educational!
I like the GS in the background of picture number 2 as well.
