From what I can tell they either started driving the cars on Thursday, and based off one of their instagrams they're supposed to end. (Unless some got the car to take home to further test it). So ya if it's not under embargo then I'm guessing that we should see reviews up today, possibly tomorrow but it's a Sunday so who knows, or Monday.

Edit- So based off some Instagram detective work the reporters arrived in Portugal Thursday. Friday they first began testing the car and one of them posted a pic saying "my working space for the next two days" early Friday. So they're ending today or tomorrow based off if he included Friday or not in that statement.

Haven't seen anything about that on MBUSA's instagram. Just stuff from Portugal. Also AMG stated on that Private Lounge that we should be seeing some reviews by the end of the month. So the California press drive stuff could be sometime this week with reviews being up by Saturday the latest, if reviews don't show up by Monday. That is unless things changed and now they're delaying reviews also... Lol

I'm being patient for the arrival of the C63S, but it's difficult that's why I need the reviews to keep my preoccupied! Haha. Plus with the announcement of Australian pricing for the C63S and the ED1 I'm hyped since it's now possible that the Ed1 might cost less then the 507 Edition here since it costs less in other markets such as Australia.

Also just found this video online.
