Well what I read the other day said that Chrysler by itself is the 5th
largest automaker in the world, so the combined DB-CC will have to be at
least the third largest in the world if not the second largest (I assume
GM is the largest and Ford's second so with the merger they should be
right on the heels of Ford if not overtaking them...).. Just my
thoughts...
