Yep, I got the same notice from the News Channel in Netstar! I am anxious to see the demo in the flesh.

Re: official sales date for AMG 55 SLK

No big secret info actually :-)

I had inquired with Mercedes-Benz USA (800-4mercedes I think) a few days ago who said they'd call me back. I wasn't really counting on it, but they did today, very nicely with lots of info on the options etc. (though most we know by now), and the official release date of November 4th for the 55.

Cheers,
Dan.

Ps

Sorry by the way, trust me, I would have liked it earlier as well.

By the way, they were really good on the phone. A few minutes into it, they said 'oh, I notice you have an order in already via netstar' - so they checked on my name while we were talking ;-) wow.
