    End result will probably be better for Chrysler than for Mercedes, brand image-wise. Only time will really tell.

    As far as looks - that is too subjective to really bother with too much. Take my Corolla - I like the looks and shape of the 8th gen to the 9th gen Corolla. The Matrix wasn't a looker for me at first - but the utility of it and SUV-like driving sightlines (being able to look over cars to see traffic/accidents/etc) started to make the car kinda grow on you.

    I like BMWs better. They look more stylish. MB is alright as well but I would rather drive a BMW.

    YES BMW IS DEUTSCHLAND's FINES ENGENURING EVAR.

    the only reason a vast majority of people thing bmw is the sex is because it costs so much. like how women love guys with lots of money, they love expensive cars. money = sex. expensive car = sex. stupid math but it works that way.

    Generally speaking My experience with Mopar it the quality sucks and the Product support is downright the worst in the industry. Mopar raised there warranty because the product didn't meet the needs of it's customers and by the time your paying it off every thing else falls apart this includes The caravan/town and country , jeep brand and everything else they make. The only thing i will say positive is that i have always liked about Chrysler is the design leadership there very much a design leader when it comes to the overall looks and how the car looks take for example when the Lh platform when it came out in 1992 that sedan looked good and reinvented the sedan to what everybody else has right. by moving the windshield forward and maxi ming the sedan into something usefull the designed turned out to be a winner just like the Minivan bailed them out a decade ago..

    Why does it suck? Like the article states: The Germans and the Americans are learning to get over themselves and just try to make the best products they can.
