Probably MB spend too much money and resource to revive the dying Chrysler group. Daimler spent $36 billion to acquire Chrysler back in 1998, now Chrysler worth nearly nothing. Not until MB totally get rid of Chrysler, any potential MB buyers should seriously think about the research and development in MB over the last decade...
