Even though it is in German, anyone can see quickly that Mercedes-Benz covers the market from the cheap to the expenive, from the civilian to the commercial. In fact, the Mercedes-Benz line-up looks a lot like Chrysler Corporation's did circa 1951. I guess DaimlerBenz knew a good formula when it saw it. The Chrysler Group's worry shouldn't be whether Daimler would allow a new Imperial. The worry should be will Daimler allow the Chrysler Group at all. Dave Duricy
