I was in NYC today for a day trip and while walking around Times Square, I see this MB which does not look familiar. At first, I thought it was the new ML but upon getting closer, it was a R350 with NJ DTM plates!! It was stickered with "Tide" logos...guess it was for a new product promotion they were doing across the street from where the R-Class was parked.

Took a few snap shots for you guys

 

Looks like it was a beautiful day in the City, too.

Thanks for the post,
Greg

 

Was a beautiful day...really lucked out as we got to do everything that we wanted to before the rain started!

 

Thanks for the pic's. What is a DTM plate? Is that a manufacturer use plate?

Looking good...I see it has the interior package with the wood wheel. Also, it appears to have the 17" wheels. Black sure looks good but not for me...too lazy (or old) to keep it looking like new.

Mine is scheduled for build in first decade of September...:-)

 

I believe the DTM plates are like manufacturer plates that they use when testing new vehicles from the MBUSA center in NJ.

 

Thanks...did you notice if it had the rear TV screens in the headrests and also if it had a rear center console?

 

I did look in the back and I did not notice TV screens in the headrest but I did not notice if there was a rear center console.

 

Thanks...

 

haha, lemme rephrase that :p I'm still tired from the drive and 10 hours of walking around.

I did look in the back but did not see any TV screens in the headrest or a rear center console.

 

Got it...:-)

 

DTM has nothing to do with manufacturer plates. DTM means and only means Deutschen Tourenwagen Masters.... These are NJ manufacturer's plates, which means that the car belongs to MBUSA.

 

Did you notice that there was a new ML right behind it?

 

Looks good. I'm liking this new model more and more. I wonder why all the black ones on the road though?

I noticed the ML behind too.

 

yup, there was a new ML350 parked behind it

 

Excellent pictures. Wife loves the car so I will be replacing the Honda with this beauty. Im thinking of an R500 though since that extra power and torque would be appreciated in a car this big.

 

i'm looking forward to having kids....but i never really saw myself as a minivan mom - this, however...would change my mind. i don't think it can really qualify as a minivan really - it's sporty and sweet
