So, what you're saying is that Chrysler has a good chance of being bought by a company that specializes in bean counting. Great. Mercedes sucks the technology out of it that they wanted and now throws it on the auction block. Real nice...

I think Chrysler got much more technology from Mercedes than vice versa. If they hadn't gotten the 300, Crossfire etc. from Mercedes leftovers I wonder if Chrysler would have survived the past few years. Not to mention all the drive train tech they are using that have roots in Mercedes' engineering.
