No "inside contact" at MB, unfortunatley. But I wish you luck.

Prior to a divorce in the family, I had an in-law who was the top manager at a Ford Plant. He made BIG $$$,$$$, but his quality of life was miserable. We went out to dinner, and he got paged 4 times, and eventually left early while the rest of us ate dessert

I was suprised to learn that they make cars for export that are not sold here in the US. For example, they build a Ford Explorer with a diesel engine, but only for sale overseas. I would think something like that would sell well here...?

Unfortunatley I'll never have the chance to ask him "why"?
