The building looks similar but I don't think it's an exact match. The vidcap doesn't have a platform on the left side of the train while the photo does. ???

Trains could be going in opposite directions: one is going north to Frankfurt, the other going south to Munich. Therefore platforms would be on different sides of the train.

North or southbound doesn't matter, as Stuttgart Hbf station is a "dead end". This station has many platforms, so photo of ICE-T train is shown on a different platform than vidcap. The following link shows a overhead view of railyard. It's a sure thing.

Compare the buildings behind the train in this vidcap to the apartments in the link above. Hope this convinces you, Libra. ;)

Boingo, I really looked but I'm not sure...it's doesn't matter. I trust you and other super sleuths here. ;)
So the train station is identified, we know they get off at Stuttgart hbf but where do they get on?

Then on into the country on the autobahn. finding an exit for a country secondary road (Wanda misses it!) Check out vidpix number 49 which shows a nice two lane country road (not an autobahn) leading to a picturesque village in the distance. This may be site of Roadblock; "find the Travelocity gnome".
Teams then continue on to Munich.

This scenario makes a lot of sense, given the Stuttgart train station spoiler. Now about that ROADBLOCK task. We know what they do in Stuttgart (test track @ MB) and what they do in Munich (Bavaria Film Studio detours), so what does that leave between Stuttgart and Munich besides a long drive?
How about LEGOLAND. Given this leg has pretty silly tasks (smashing bottles, dancing, driving, etc.), maybe Legoland near the town of Ulm (halfway between Stuttgart and Munich) isn't such a stretch. Too bad we have no vidcaps to back this up. That's my 2 cents.

That's easy, as Gingerman already speculated, it's Frankfurt. Frankfurt is the main international gateway into Germany. So it's logical they take a train from Frankfurt to Stuttgart (the headquarters of Daimler-Chrysler Mercedes-Benz) where they pick up their Mercedes cars.

So after they reached Stuttgart train station, they take a taxi to the headquarters of Daimler-Chrysler (the cap with Joseph getting off the taxi).
Upthread someone identified the time on his watch, does the time fit in with the order of things? Also with the flight schedule from SVO assuming Mojo isn't delayed with computer problem?
