Truck load of new R320s?

I was driving East on the Ohio Turnpike yesterday and passed a car hauler loaded with 6 (seemingly) new black R320s around Cleveland. They were either new or all very well detailed.

I can't imagine a good reason for MB to send new ones to China by way of an East coast port. I also can't imagine a group sale of 6 used ones in great condition.

Any ideas?

Could be a dealer courtesy bus offload or executive taxis? Just guessing

I think they moved limited production for China of these to Indiana. That would make the Ohio Turnpike a good route to the East Coast terminals, but I just found it strange to ship cars to China from the East Coast.

I picked up my R350 as a dealer courtesy car with 5200 miles and a huge discount in 2011. They like to offload these with low mileage and Certified Warranty.
