It wasn't a merger, it was a take over. Chrysler had a deceint market share and the upper management used this as a selling point. Daimler-Benz was sold a company that was heading for trouble and poised to lose market share. The funny thing is that they only people who benefitted by the takeover was the upper management of Chrysler they all walked away with MILLIONS.
I noticed that their product line under the German managment just plain sucks. They haven't come out with a change of models in a while and otuside of the specity cars and whipped up trucks, there is nothing that is too thrilling to their product line. Mercedes life cycle is a lot longer than any american car company.
