Daimler's acquisition of Chrysler was a huge mistake from Day 1.
I never, ever understood why Daimler would have wanted to do that. I think part of the problem is the decision makers were in Germany, and therefore didn't really understand American cars or the American car market.
I thought it was really stupid from the beginning. In the early years, Chrylser was bleeding BILLIONS per QUARTER for Daimler. They did manage to turn it around a bit, but I think they've finally realized the dog they bought has fleas, big time.
