Didn't know everyone would be excited over a 6-banger.

Maybe it's just disquised as a V6 ? The other side of the exaust was dumped under the car?

Why are they still trying to camouflage the body?

They aren't, which is why the front end bras and rear end diapers are removed.

The leopard spots are left over from a long time ago. Why waste time and money re-painting these test mules that will just end up going to the crusher in another 9 months.

Think about it though, the idea of a test mule is to abuse it in every conceivable way. They probably encourage driving over curbs and running into things.
