Have you tried calling or emailing MBUSA to ask them? My guess is the same as others, which is that they are updating the page for the 2026 model. If they are, they are taking a long time from a pure software perspective. I've done whole web site refreshes in the past and most do not even require taking content down. The times that it does, it's only down for time it takes to complete the update which is not normally more than a few hours and more often just a few minutes. Either they have very poor change management in place or there are some non-technical reasons they need it down for the time being.

I've found that using the Forum is a much better option.
A friend of mine was interested in the car, and I wanted to help by sending him the link, but MBUSA's website was disappointing.

When I call or email MBUSA, I always want to reconsider. They often don't respond, and when they do, their answers are usually vague and late.
