motorweek episode

Did anybody see this weekends episode of Motorweek with the E55 b/c the episode on my directv was not the one with the E55.
And strangely enough the guide on the show had it as the one with the E55. Maybe since it was reported as a 2004 E55, Mercedes had a problem showing the show.

It was pretty lame. They kept calling it a 2004 E55 (I didn't think they started production yet!), and several of the front and rear shots were of a S class. Give me a break. No big deal if you missed it.

It was pretty weak. But always good to see the car on TV. (Of course, seeing it in my garage is the best!!!)

Here is the link to the text of the show

Do a search for Mercedes and the last one (at the bottom of the page) will be for the 2004(!!) E55

Unless I'm missing something, the '04 E55 hasn't started production yet, and the base MSRP they quote is for the '03, and I suspect there'll be a higher price for the '04!

I agree. I couldn't believe they thought they could get away with the S-class shots as an E55!?! Lame...
