When did MB start "learning" from Chrysler???

Hi,

I've started parting out a 1994 C280 and I'm simply amazed at the construction technique used by Mercedes for this car. I mean power window regulators that are riveted in??? Arm rests that are riveted,,, plastic snap in overhead light,,, and the best I've seen, and I don't know if this is a engineering joke or some form of humor from an overly bored assembly line worker, but the small plastic piece inbetween the steering wheel and the steering column, the plastic piece that holds the airbag wires. Well on the car I'm currently parting, there's like 10 feet (OK 3 meters for you die-hards) of the 4 conductor ribbon all spooled up inside it. What is this some kind of last minute engineered inductor? I 'm gonna hafta take a picture of the insides to let you all see what I'm talkin' bout.
