Some answers.
Generally you don't buy a dealers' car here. Those are for test driving. Instead you get the car you design with them and they build it for you after you settle on the price. And they deliver it to your house. In fact, even though the paperwork is all under my wife's name (she's a Japanese citizen), she has never once been to the dealer's in three years. All the paperwork is done in house. I like driving and don't mind waiting at the dealer (I try out all the other models), so I bring it in for (free) servicing. If we wanted, they'd do that as well. In fact when our side mirror got smashed on our previous one, they came and fixed it in the driveway.
As for license plates here, yeah, cars appear to come with them, and there's a fancy bolt that makes removal nearly impossible. I honestly didn't check out the tires. Are these better than what you get? Or just different. This is the luxury package. An XDL. Fat fingers typed XLD in a rush in the subject line.
I'll get a shot tomorrow if the other side of the wheel.
Regarding the sound system. So far I'm very impressed. I'll need to live with it a bit longer, but the speakers are much more powerful - when Nirvana's Pennyroyal Tea's bass kicked in, I was parked, and i felt the speakers move my pant legs. That never happened with my old one.
Current favorite surprise, the vastly improved i-stop system, renamed auto-hold.
