How do you say Daimler-Chrysler in German? Daimler, the Chrysler is silent.

Maintaining a corporate name that evokes associations with the failure of the business combination with Chrysler is detrimental to the image of the corporation and its products. This is all the more true as unflattering nicknames such as Doting Daimler, Daimler-Crisis or even Crime-ler have long been in circulation. The disadvantages this entails for shareholders, customers and employees can only be borne at most for a short transition period until there is a proper separation from Chrysler. If a proper separation cannot be effected within one year, this would only serve to underscore the need to remove this affliction on the image from the corporation’s name.”

Remove Chrysler already DC! If, its the real reason for failing. Or you're just making Chrysler the escape goat for your failures.

Once Chrysler is gone, it'll be interesting to see how well Mercedes does, and more importantly, who they blame their struggles on.

Chrysler saved MB? Where do you get that from?
It's true Audi saved Lamborghini and Fiat/Ferrari saved Maserati - but how do you figure Chrysler save MB?

Just as it was for BMW and Rover, I think the separation of Benz and Chrysler will be good for both.
