Where is MBUSA's Press Release?....

I was wondering, has anyone seen MBUSA's press release regarding the 2003 E-Class? Usually on the day or shortly after a model makes its world debut, usually in Europe, MBUSA has a press release detailing the US-spec version of that car and when the car will go on sale in the US. It happened with previous models introduced such as the C-Class, and the SL-Class (R230). But where is the 2003 E-Class Press Release? When will it come out?

Friend of mine is an automotive reporter for a paper. He just got his within the last day or so. I'll bet it'll be all over the place soon.

The U.S. MBUSA press release for the upcoming 2003 W211 will probably be in the Spring. The W211 goes on sale in the U.S. in August or September 2002. Production for the U.S. version starts around June 2002.

The recent Europe/Brussells introduction of the W211 is for that market. The W211 goes on sale in March 2002 for Europe as a 2002 model.
