True, and in the process of partnering up with Chrysler, they saved Chrysler's a$$ from completely going out of business at the time. Much of the details of a lot of Chrysler vehicles are the same as Mercedes, or are direct Mercedes components. The Jeep liberty, the newest Cherokee, and the Dodge Nitro, all have the 3.7 litre Mercedes engine and tranny in them to this day, even though Mercedes dumped Chrysler a few years back.
