Ii is likely that  this is program  is  sponsored by either the local  or impprted  Mercedes ,  depending on what the sponsor party  wanted them to say , i will  take their  finding, while might still be true,   with a pinch of salt.

Aluminium bonnet and boot lid for the Foreign vs Steel for China assembled. Some minor differences otherwise, double protection bar for rear for import.

For a local context, it will be interesting to see the comparison between a Swedish built and a Chinese built Volvo since most of the mainstream models in the range are from China today.

Acura is the luxury brand from Honda. In fact Acura was launched earlier than Lexus. It was launched in the US and Canada, it has very little present in this region.
