Has anyone read what was said in the stockholder meeting?

Here are a couple of quotes from Jurgen

"We will focus on only Chrysler and Mitsubishi when drawing up plans for sharing platforms. "

"In other words, there will be no brand dilution, particularly in the case of Mercedes-Benz. No Mercedes-Benz vehicle will share its platform with the products of another brand. We are not going to dilute the star in any way. Never."

I hope that's true. I'd hate to see Chrysler eventually become Benz products and disappear all together. If I want a Benz, I'll mortgage my house and buy one.

I was looking at it from a different perspective. He is willing to bastardize the Chrysler line with the Misubishi line, however, he is not going to allow any dilution of the MB line.

That quote by Jerken says volumes about the Chrysler's status with Daimler.

That was my feeling. Screw over the other companies to make a profit and keep the MB star in a class by itself. You know that class that doesn't have as much profit.

Even during his speach, he commented that for the first two years, the Chrysler side provided the most profit. They many not make as much profit per unit, on a chrysler, but with the higher sales you end up with an overall higher profit margin. The MB cannot compete with that kind of profit.

He wants to use screw over Chrysler, so they can have enough profit to keep the MB line that doesn't sell as well.

its funny that even when the "star" has a record breaking year it still isn’t enough to cancel out Chrysler having a mediocre year...star...they make less money per car than Mopar does on a Neon...over rated couches with wheels, with as much passion and excitement built in as a box of Kleenex.

Man, I hope so. If you can't beat them, at least screw with them a little.
