C32 removed from MBUSA.com

Probably in anticipation of launching the C55, the C32 has been removed from the C-Class lineup on MBUSA.com. Has anyone heard of an "official" release date for the C55?

I know, but those were clearly bearing manufacturer insignia. It was mentioned in a previous post that C55's were being held at the VPC in anticipation of an official release date, I was wondering what that might be.

Why don't they put the 3. 5 liter in the C class, its still the 320. Same with the E- class. Doesn't make sense. But they change the C32 from a supercharged V-6 to a an unsupercharged detuned V-8, which supposedly has the same or slower performance, and for which Renn-Tech will have an upgrade for about $5,000. Some of us want a high performance car not as big as the E-Class. We can't have it from MBZ in a C class. Can't get the ABC system that is in the E-class, or even the base system that the SL's have. Its nuts.
