This is part of the reason why I think it would be good for Chrysler to be separated from MB. MB has owned parts of Hyundai/Kia, Mitsubishi, and merged with Chrysler. The first two have improved since they got out from MB's control. Their theory is make the non-Daimler line super cheap to maximize profits and only invest in the Daimler Group. Yeah, that is the model in which Toyota, Honda, and the other growing companies are using.
NOT!
