Default 2008 Mercedes C-Class Spied in Testing

Hello everyone. I am a big German car fan and found you forum with a purpose. I was driving home yesterday from work and came across a 2008 Merc C-Class in heavy traffic. It was heavily camoflauged and being guarded by a C-280 which was doing some crazy burnouts on the Schukyll to try and scare us off. I managed to get some shots with my phone of the test car as I chased it down the highway through the heavy traffic weaving like crazy between cars. I hope that you will enjoy these shots as they are the first ever of this car in America and it is in late testing phases.

Here are my pictures:

This was at the Belmont Avenue exit from the Schukyll (76) going into Philadelphia. I am guessing it just arrived in port from Germany in New Jersey (per the Jersey plates) and they took it out for a drive in some of the traffic to test.

I don't like the color very much. [sm=smiley1.gif] But, seriously, the shape seems kinda drab.
