The 300 was a great car, and it benefited from some E-Class chassis
technology. Although it's most valuable asset is the Chrysler designed
and engineered 5.7 litre hemi V8, and the styling which came strictly
from Chrysler design studios.
My point was that Daimler drained Chrysler resources in the early
years of the alleged merger. Mercedes sales were hurting at the time,
and a lot of dollars went to Germany. When the tables turned, Daimler
bailed. It was ugly, and it left Chrysler at the mercy of Cerebus, a
sleezeball equity firm.

The Challenger project only got rolling after Daimler was gone. The
300 benefited somewhat from the Daimler connection, but for the most
part, Daimler drained Chrysler resources without contributing a whole
hell of a lot. I was there; saw it happen.

Chrysler did just fine until Daimler got involved. Dodge was one of
the world's most profitable brands in the nineties, as was Jeep. And,
yes, with a dealership organization, we probably will get Alfas
but not from Chrysler. We'll get Dodges, Chrysler, and Jeeps from
Chrysler. There will probably be a compact Dodge and Chrysler shared
with Fiat, but the brands won't be mixed. That wouldn't make any
sense.
Very clever of you Godders to be able to make fun of the Chrysler
name. You're such a wit.

Very funny. A beautiful graphics job too.
But what I do think we *might* get, after the dunderheads at
CRAPysler are canned and out of the way, might be more like this:
