It's not the same radio, it's the one from the SLK. It shares many components with the SLK. When you combine two negatives like poor reliabilty of Mercedes with poor build quality of Chrysler do you add the two negatives or is the poor reliability squared? This is not the first time that Chrysler would have failed by making a car off shore with snazzy nameplate and shared components, remember the Chrysler TC by Maserati? People go into a Chrysler/Plymouth dealers for minivans and economy cars, not for exotics unless they are built in such small numbers like the Prowler that they aren't really for sale at the dealers.

I wish they would cut us loose. The "merger" is a bad joke.

I saw the Cross-Fire last night at the OC Auto Show.
Its going to be a huge seller. It has the "reverse Jaguar effect." (Jaguar = pay Jaguar price for a 40% Ford).
People were in the crowd were saying "Is an MB for half the price."
Not a bad looking car, either. It will be a big hit.
