It's a commonly voiced excuse, but no. W210 was designed long before the merger, and the E320 wagons came off the line in Stuttgart. If there was a car company ruined in that merger, it was Chrysler.
I still stand by my 'opinion' that Chrysler 'M.O.' had its affects on the once near-flawless Daimler-Benz company of German origin. Accountants and other pin-heads from 'Murica' went in to make changes to the Benz brand when IMHO should have been the reverse.

Again, this is certainly my opinion and little one can say that will move it the slightest
