How’s Mercedes doing without Chrysler? BMW or GM partnership in the works?

It’s finally a done deal. ‘DaimlerChrysler’ has renamed itself Dailmer AG and has renamed its passenger car business Mercedes-Benz Cars. So how are Daimler and Mercedes doing without their long time partner Chrysler?

According to The Detroit News, the separation is doing wonders for Daimler. The stock has gone up 50 percent since it announced that it would be selling Chrysler back in February. Mercedes is also out-earning its rivals BMW and Audi. But analysts and investors are now wondering who will Mercedes-Benz partner up with next to keep their spot as a strong competitor in the luxury segment?...

Mercedes-Benz is one of the most (justifiably) respected names in motor-vehicle history, and that'll remain a fact for the foreseeable future... Partnered or not.

Daimler and BMW aren't going to partner up... why would you put that in the title, omarrana? The article makes it pretty clear.

Daimler and GM shouldn't, either. They're both doing well enough on their own.

"Benz has announced a partnership with BMW."

Link, please.

They have a hybrid partnership with GM, you idiot. Not a full firm buyout.
