New MB commercial for Diesel cars!

I just saw on TV a new commercial for the 2007 Diesel vehicles. (three of them) done in the style of the nationwide freeze frame commercials. a girl driving a black vehicle passes a city bus, and 1/2 way through the manuver, a guy steps out, the frame freezes, and the guy starts talking about the torque and efficiency of the new common rail Diesel MB's and the hood and engine come apart as he describes the power of the new Diesel.
pretty cool. I looked on youtube, but to no avail. maybe on MB's own site?

The ad is only for the soft SUV's. So ML, GL and R class. No E-class.

The commercial is pretty cool. The "Transformers" like action of the different engine systems is kind of weird though. The overall feel is like the original ad for the R-class were they use those standstill 3-dimensional shots and they go around the car (this time with a black ML instead).
Next you have the engine poping from under the hood and "transforming" under your eyes to highlight the part of the engine being commented...

I'm still trying to find the commercial online, but I found this... neat video about the 40something year old record MB broke in 05
