Motor Authority has managed to snap new spy photos of the intriguing R-Klasse test prototype, that was recently caught by spy photographers in the USA. This time, 2 of the 4 photos are concentrated on revealing some important details of the car's front end, which will suffer major look changes:definitely, new headlights and a new radiator grille, which will follow the latest Mercedes-Benz design language. In the interior, a new steering wheel, borrowed from the M-Klasse facelift, has been installed;also, the updated COMAND APS infotainment system is expected to be offered.

As the journalists state, this R-Klasse test car will become reality in the middle of 2009. So, finally, the mystery has been broken:we are not talking about a completely new generation of the GST, but about a substantial facelift. It's a logical strategy and maybe it will somehow raise sale numbers for the model, which, up to the moment, have been a catastrophy.
