Video disappearance from AMG site?

Hi all!


Does anybody know why the official SLK55 video has been pulled from the AMG website? It was on there a few months back. I've downloaded and saved it to my machine but it's a big file so I don't think I can share it from here. Went to link to it because the car featured was in Iridium Silver.

Either it's back or you're not looking in the right place, I just downloaded it and watched it.

Nope! Just checked the site again and the SLK55 video is definitely not featured with the rest of the AMG fleet as it was a few months back.

The site I am referring to is:

http://www.mercedes-benz.com/omb/amg...ndex.htm?dtm=0

Don't know where you've been to V8 Growler man!

I'd heard rumours that they were going to re-shoot/edit the video after poor feedback re: lack of engine tone from the car.

I agree the sound is pants, the V8 should be a load growl!!!!
