New cars in camo!

So. Cal is a prime testing area for car makers, so it's not uncommon to see development vehicles running around with all sorts of body coverings, or nothing more than black tape over the emblem. A couple weeks ago on the way to San Diego, I spied a new Mercedes crossover wagon thingy.

Oh, there's often a caravan of cars with the test vehicle too. At least, that's how Toyota likes to roll. Saw some new Lexus crossover wagon thingy last week followed by a chase vehicle Camry. They all sport the Michigan Manufacters plate of course. I did see the Lexus IS-F about a year ago.... the guys driving it stopped off at Chiptole for lunch. As soon as they got out of the car, they had a full body cover that went all the way down to the ground to keep prying eyes (like mine) away.
