the real question to me is to what extent they will differentiate the GLS interior from the GLE interior. given that there has been so much parts sharing, historically, i'm a little concerned. that being said, if they truly intend to differentiate S line vehicles from E line vehicles, the interior needs to be a nice step up and likely will be

That will be very weird to have 53 and 63 with same front AMG kit as i think the rear will be different buy the 53 round exhaust and 63 square.

After looking more at the pic I have of the 63 if you think the X7 has a large grill just wait until you see the size of the one it will have. WOW is it HUGE!!! Dare I say the X7 grill in comparison will be much smaller. The 63 grill takes up half the bumper height, best I can tell is prob about 14-16" tall. It does seem to be taller than the 450/580 photos currently around but same width.
The 63 I have seen fully uncovered is in the bright blue without the night package. To say its underwhelmingly not aggressive at all is an understatement. The chrome trim along the bumper trim I think if all black with the night package would make a bigger diff. Basically take the current 63 lower bumper and graft it on with a LARGE panamerican grill and the new headlights.
The wheels while this is a pre-production model are multi-spoke (13)

i don't know, I will ask those I know at the factory but they likely don't know either. Wish I could post the full pic but not risking someone's job for a pic, but its fully uncovered. Would love the see the rear uncovered but no pics of the rear as it was backed up next to a fence.
I really want to see the GLE Coupe that was under a cover next to it, here is crop from the full photo of the GLE Coupe covered. Doesn't show much but it's there, and you get a slight glimpse of the 63.
Told they expect the GLS Maybach to have same grill just lots more chrome on the front, no surprise there. They believed there was a Maybach under one of the other covered cars surrounding the 63.

my family is busting the seams out of our 14 GL350, so tomorrow I'm going to the dealer to go over the process of configuring the new sprinter to be family friendly. I was hoping they would have made the new one much larger, the cargo behind the third row is a joke.

Vid of euro hidden trailer hitch for GLS, not great quality but you get the idea.
