The 4 cylinder engine being built by Renault-Nissan in Tennessee will be designed by Mercedes, with funding from Renault-Nissan, in exchange for Mercedes building a four cylinder gas and a diesel engine for Renault-Nissan in Europe, likely for the Infiniti line. The Tennessee plant, which currently builds Nissan engines for US consumption, was chosen for the supply chain for the W205 production in Vance, AL.

Whatever. Justifications can be thrown about however one will, but I for one will never be spending money on a Mercedes with frogandnip input anywhere for any reason. I doubt Mercedes Corporate structure will be losing any sleep over my opinion but then again I have enough trouble just trying to acquire a "real" Benz from from my rapidly receding youth to bother myself with whatever the hell they think they are now.
