I saw this on the freeway yesterday. Looks like an S-class maybe?

I see a white 2IS going the opposite direction and the car all disguised looks to be the new E-class that's coming out probably in 2009 as a 2010 model.

i'm with the guess of it being the new E Class. Gas cap on the car right--an Avalon would have it on the left of the car.

Quad tips? It's not the new AMG E-class is it? Or maybe E550?

Definitely the next generation E class.


Speaking of which, I am getting a new company car at the end of July! A 2008 Mercedes E230 (the firm I work for only offers Audi, MB and VW company cars). I've decided on this car because I wanted something with a little more pep. Have not driven it yet but that will happen on July 31st / August 1st. It's not a diesel like my current car.
