I was driving down the autobahn 3 days ago (A81) and saw an E-class that had VERY minor covering on both the front and back. I normally have my camera with me, but didnt this time. Between what I saw, and what I've read online, its really not more than a cosmetic change. I will keep my camera with me for the next time.

It is quite fun

However, seeing the new "test" cars on the road is almost more fun. I saw the CLS being tested about 2 years ago in Boblingen (right outside the factory)
