Sushi on a croissant with a side of kraut, anyone?

Daimler teaming with Nissan and Renault to build small cars.

Maybe Daimler learned how to play nice? But how much they really "help" each other remains to be seen, since there are still those within Daimler that think anything thats not 100% Mercedes is not a car worth contemplating.

The only thing MB gains is market penetration through rebranding. Nissan and Renault gain MB technology.

Least that's the way it looks to me.

Link doesn't work anymore...

...but didn't Daimler learn their lesson after the Chrysler debacle?? Or are they acting like a college kid getting over a bad hangover planning the next party to attend???!

Btw, Sushi on a croissant with a side of kraut, actually sounds tasty!

The Germans are not very good at playing nice. I doubt it will go anywhere.
