I don't love the "stars" in the lights a'la the E Class, IMO its over the top. Although aimed at China for sure where these big sedans are still really popular.

What I really want to see is the dash.
I think the E class coupe dash is the right design. Even your S class dash has the right design. GLE or G class too.

Chinese tire > no tires

I can tell you all part of the reason many drivers are running Chinese tires.
I went to two different tire stores and they tried to push them on me.
Can't remember the exact brands they said BUT both tried to convince me they were Chinese but made by the same company who makes "fill in brand name here".
I want to say one place said Bridgestone and one place said Perelli.
Another words, good deal on these tires and there made by the same company who makes Bridgestone.
Total lies, I went home and could find nothing to confirm the claims.
Oh I have thrown away many crappy tires that had plenty of tread in my life lol. Its the single biggest impact you can make on the way a car rides and drives, the tires.

Yep, I threw away a set of nearly new MXM4s on the 460 since I hated them.
What I do wish I had done was keep the runflats so I could reinstall them. If I turn it in vs trade it in I will get hit for the non runflats. Next time I will swap them but keep them so I can put them back on.
Lol Steve is a tire snob, not that I blame him. Nothing will ever go on my cars except Michelins.
The SL came with Chinese tires that Steve pointed out just from a random pic of something else, I wasn't even aware lol.
But hey, they were new tires. Don't get me wrong, Michelins go on next but I'm not paying for them until it's time.
At one time I used to like Michelin, but I am just not a fan anymore. I had Michelin Pilot or Sport tires or something along those lines, I really didn’t like them.

On what exactly? A 4Runner is not something that gets those tires at all and it's a boat so.....
I've only put Bridgestones on mine but I think Pilot Sport AS4's will be my next tire. For whatever reason Bridgestone doesn't make UHP all season tires that fit the IS 500.
