JUST saw 2 heavily disguised Maybacks

driving down the road in an Audi A6, i see a black S500, nothing unusual, it's prob getting gas, i looked in front of the S500, 2 weird looking cards, black parts plastered everywhere, heavy duty tape (or something that looked like it) it certain areas. Then i realized "HOLY $h#@$, that's a disguised Mercedes", what was really shocking is that when i looked at the shapes, they seemed really attractive and exactly like the mayback's, howver, their size wasn't so impressive, maybe it's just me but it didnt look much larger (if any) then the S Class behind it.

no

NO! This was the exact same shape as what i saw on the pictures on the net. The most telltale sign? The smoothness from the last pillar to the rear-end, a gene found in the maybachs (and maybe the new sclass?)
