True, but I guess the C-class was represented on the show by the Factory DTM C-class and as I'm watching now, the CLK by the limited edition CLK DTM car.

Great show though!

I thought the SL test drives with the 55 and 65 were redundant. The S and C AMG's got no love.

That's EXACTLY what I thought. It was obviously filmed in the fall of 2005 (around the time of the last 2005 DTM race in Hockenheim). The new S65 was not out yet and the W203 C-class is the next car that's going to get completely redesigned. Would have loved to see the C55 on the show.

Great show otherwise!!

I missed it. If anyone recorded it, I'd like a copy and can upload it to a server to share it.

If you have ON-DEMAND it might very well be there as well so you can watch whenever you'd like. It wasn't listed there on Friday night but it could be now.
