Whoa! Wait a second there skippy......Mercedes ruined Chrysler????? When Mercedes took over Chrysler, Chrysler's rate of warrenty issues were some 48 reported repairs per 100 units sold compared to GM and Ford's less than 4 per 100 within the first 2 years of ownership.

Don't get me wrong Mercedes has had problems too ever sense they tried to break into the cheaper car market (under 50K).
