I snapped these two photos quickly on the highway. It would have been too dangerous to try and get a front photo, but it clearly appeared to be a Mercedes front end. The tail lights were also shaped like a Mercedes. The centers of the wheels had no logo. This vehicle was being followed by a Mercedes E-class with Michigan license plates. Both vehicles had Michigan license plates and were clearly together. I have no idea what the point of this vehicle is, but take the photos for what they are.
Ditto. First guess was Mercedes B-Class. Although in the U.S., I thought you guys were getting the A-Class, so it's possible that this may be the A (though it looks bigger than the current A-Class).

What you saw was probably a disguised prototype of the US-market Mercedes-Benz B-Class. Note how it looks almost identical to the European-market B-Class currently on sale in Europe:
Today, in February 2012, it's disgusting how vertical that windshield is and the discontinuous planes of the hood-to-windshield-to-trunk.
