I JUST SPIED THE 2007 C CLASS AND GOT A PIC!!!!!!!

Well, I saw a lot of cars today.  A Continental GT, 3 Vettes, a Plymouth Prowler, a 6er, but nothing prepared me for seeing a lightly disguised 2007 C class.  I saw the whole thing perfectly, and I just whipped my camera behind me to take this view.  I know its not perfect, but hey, I was driving 40 and it was going 40 in the opposite direction.  I can tell everyone how it looked, because I remember it exactly in my mind.  It was lightly disguised in black foam.



Thats it.

It had a certain hunkered down look, and I recognized it as a future C class because of the big Merc grill.  It was bigger than the current C class, and it was almost as big as a previous gen 5 series.  If you have specific questions, then ask, because I remember exactly how it looks in my mind...I just couldnt get my camera out in time to get a good pic.

It was very lightly disguised.  I could pretty much see everything! :o

Nevermind, I've got another: what type of exhaust pipes did it have? (i.e. dual, quad, not visible)

I could not make out exhaust pipes...I dont think they were visible...sort of like the E Class.

He thinks I saw an E Class....let me assure you, this was not an e class.  It was disguised in black foam, and had a much pointier nose than an E Class.  It was also smaller.

QuoteIt looked a lot like like this rendering:

Excellent. That's the rendering that I actually like, rather than the one that was first posted here that looked like a Mercedes G6.

I still cant believe I saw it...I had a huge adrenaline rush, whipped the camera behind my head, and took the picture.  And from what I saw, its going to be a very good looking car. :)

Sweet...I also like how your rear windows there have 2 levels...a regular level and a higher (almost skylight-like level)...it looks really sweet.  :)

Thanks.  It makes for a very airy cabin :)  Too bad the seatbelt is in the way...I had just enough time to whip my camera around and take the picture...although I saw the car very clearly first.

Dismount the seatbelt mount and hanger and drill a couple holes in the pillar there and mount 'er back up and Voila!  You got a complete open window area!  :praise:  :P

You're not required to get permission first? I'm not sure about this.
