Not the actual car pictured but same color. Had Mass. plates and looked to be a 20-something-ish dude driving. I have no idea how rare these are but I can't recall the last time I've seen one.

Oh, and this was on I-90 heading west from Boston.

Well, it wasn't headed the other way, back into the ocean to Germany, so, yes :-)

Nope, same goldish/bronze color as the one in the picture. I wanted to snap a pic or even wave but I was in 4 lanes of commuter traffic at varying speeds.

I'm not sure I've ever seen one of these in MA before, now that I think about it...

I can't recall either. They do fly under the radar pretty well though, not like an older Merc with a small spoiler/bodykit really stands out nowadays. I probably wouldn't have noticed it had I not rolled up on it from it's right side and immediately saw the "2.3-16" badge.

Also, there were small AMG badges on the front fenders, aft of the wheel well, but I'm guessing someone put those on at some late point. It's wrong, but I get the idea, it being an AMG type car AMG didn't build.
