Looks like Infiniti in the front and Lexus in the rear. Looking more like the rest of the horde, asian econo-box cars cross dressed and re-badged in Luxury kit. I thought the new Audis were ugly as hell and were completely ruined but at least they still look a bit unique.

4500lb curb weight. Yowza.

That’s heavier than some trims of F150!

To me, those “35”, “43” and “53” models fall in the same category as the ///MXXX models from BMW.

You'd be surprised, that's pretty normal for the class these days with all the tech these cars have. Audi S6, CLS53 and M550 the main competitors all weigh in just under 4500lbs. An M850 GC weighs even more at over 4700lbs. Cars are no longer light, especially when you can buy an 3-series these days which weighs almost two tons!

Not a fan of the redesign personally. I do like the technological advances they implemented in these 53 AMG cars. Interested to see how they hold up long term. They are very impressive to drive. As for the weight, it’s a modern E Class, not a sports car.
