I saw it in NJ garden state parkway New W204!

Hey guys on my way to the hospital this morning I was on NJ Garden State Parkway and as I was exiting a toll I saw it. A smoke silver brand new W204 with amg package and two exhaust pipes one on each side. I was in th s2000and I passed him up , I was in right lane and he was all the way on left lane.

I snapped a crappy cell phone picture and guess what..... yup no good blurry as can be and could not even make out that it was a benz so sorry for no pics, but impressions:

Front grill with star and xenon light slooked aggressive like crazy. Vehicle had a vry wide low stance with spoked silver rims and amg front skirt with fogs and side skirts. Back had a black mesh diffuser-like piece in between two mufflers. On the back of the trunk were the words WERKSWAGON , no badging except benz sign in mid trunk and above words written on a white almost sticker/tape -like material. It was a young white male driving car normal cloths not flashy or anything leaned back looking to see who would notice the new baby benz.

The only negative I saw in the car was the back end/lights look horrible. I mean it makes the car look smushed in leaning forward and flat/feminine-like.
It's almost as if the back end does not belong on that car whatsoever.

Other than that the car looks bigger/more aggressive than our beloved w203's

Also car had weird NJ plates like so A2-2304 <<< not exact plate, but in that order.
Could this have been a test car in NJ? I did not know they were selling them yet? I thought the debut was this week in NY autoshow.

MB HQ is in Montvale, so it's not surprising to see new or non-US models in the area every so often.

Yeah I remembered the headquarters bit so good point, but why no badges and what does WERKS WAGON mean. I have seen this in other spy pics of
W204 as well.

Werkswagon is just a designation for a test vehicle. Its been seen on many other pre-release Mercedes.
