[QUOTE=Brucelee]Chrysler was essentially still born when it was jettisoned from Mercedes, who in my opinion, stripped it of everything that gave it a chance to survive in its niche.

I have studied the Mercedes acquisition and dumping of Chrysler and it is IMHO one of the worst done mergers in the history of GLOBAL business. Am I overstating? /QUOTE]

Merger? More like corporate rape!

I remember the joke at the time:

Q. How do you pronounce Daimler-Chrysler?

A. Daimler. Chrysler is silent.
