Mercedes & Opel new cars

Does anyone know when we will see the new Merc and the new Opel. I'm getting impatient waiting to see them. We've seen the Audi but even those weren't that good. Does anyone have images of these cars or know when we will see them?? Especially some on track stuff.

I don't understand it. Professional team yet they are still building the first cars. I'm not surprised they are near the back for the opening races and because they are later then everybody else testing it hurts them as the season goes on.

The rear of the car reminds me of the Calibra DTM car.
This Vectra looks much better than the Astra.

BTW I thought Coupe's are not longer allowed?
