Question C55 not on MBUSA AMG website?

Why is the C55 NOT on what I guess is the main AMG website for the US? The link is below.

http://www.mbusa.com/amg/index.jsp?dealerS=1

I do see the C55 on this website, which I guess is the main AMG website in Germany.

http://www.mercedes-benz.com/omb/amg/en/home/index.htm

Does that mean that this car will not be released to the US? I had understood that it was going to be released by March of this year, but if that is the case, I don't see anything in the US website or autoshows that indicate that.

I also called my local dealer this weekend. They were clueless about the C55. Most likely not to lose any sales on any remaining C32s.

The US version has not started production, so no listing on MBUSA. Is it (C55) coming as a 2005 model for US?

Will it come in early say, Spring 2004?

The US will get the C55 in July/August as a 2005 model.

The nose looks a bit longer in that pic. Looks a little off it seems.

What is this C55 AND facelifted C talk about? Are there 2 versions? I'm confused now. Isn't the C55 the facelifted C?

C55 AMG
The C Class (sedan, estate and sport coupe) get an overall exterior & interior facelift (as 2005 model)... mentioned and summarized in many posts in this forum.

Plus the C AMG gets the above changes (with subtle AMG touches, like the CLK Frontend with star on hood) AND the 5439cc (5.4) V8.

See different posts in this forum and a detailed info about C55 in germancarfans.com
