Do they think people really care that much about the shape of a new car that there is a need to disguise it?
Autocar posted something like in the Arab states where they do the hot weather testing, the locals turn up with bags of cash and wont take no for an answer if its an undisguised prototype as they want something that noone else has. Putting bin bags, fancy stickers, etc. means they can use that as an excuse not to sell it (not that they would anyway).Less of an issue in Europe I imagine but anything that stops a rival getting an early look at what a competitor is up to will be the main reason. Plus it gets people noticing the car.
If you go to Stuttgart then there are always plenty of Mercedes mules driving around and you ignore them after a while. The employees can take them home as long as they promise to do x KM in them and fill out a report when they get back as its all good testing.
