Of course. But I wanted to make the point that the merger was generally a good
thing. For everyone. Chrysler, thus far, has gotten suspension designs, a
diesel, and the Crossfire/Mercedes C platform from Daimler, and Daimler got the
prize they were hunting for: Chrysler's computer design and simulation
software. The pundits who were quick to label this a one-way deal didn't
realize that Chrysler had something Daimler really wanted. Chrysler was the
first car company to adapt the Dassault/Boeing aircraft engineering software
for auto production, and their version of it was very advanced. Daimler wanted
it, and they got it.
