Nearly 10 percent of shares are now held by China’s biggest automaker.

Just imagine being able to hit the track in a beast like the Mercedes-AMG GT S and having a system on hand that can detect when those tires might need cooling off, then spraying them with the appropriate amount of water.

In the weirdest and most unrelated news we’ve heard in quite some time, Mercedes is planning on building a midsize pickup truck. Yes, you read that right.

Are you more likely to look at MV Agusta now that AMG will be controlling them?

It’s a big sell-off, but the two automakers will continue to operate as “technological partners.” This means Daimler will keep reaping the tech benefits Tesla has to offer.

The AMG-engine partnership had many wondering if Daimler would buy a controlling stake in Aston Martin. Will that actually happen? Nope.

Some auto journalists are speculating that Daimler is considering an outright purchase of Aston Martin, the only car maker in the world not under the umbrella of a larger company.
