Jon,
Actually, when I was overseas I saw some Mercedes SUV's, and I am not
talking about the new line. They looked alot like Land Rovers. I hope
that everything will work out with this, so called merger.

Good question.
Also, does this now mean that anyone who buys Chrysler, Dodge, or
Plymouth is no longer buying American? The Dak is now a foreign
truck????
Say it ain't so! :-(
I understand that CC is just trying to be competitive, but I truly
am concerned about what path CC will take in the future. When there
is a major change like this, it seems to me that things either work out
really well, or really bad; rarely a middle ground. Frankly, I'm a
little
worried about Daimler pulling the strings. From what I've seen so far
about this "merger", Eaton will be gone in 3 years and the Germans will
be
in full control; what does Mercedes know about trucks?
