Just a little history lesson for you. DiamlerBenz bought Chrysler, however it was considered a merger of equals, when it was Diamler who spent the billions for Chrysler.

Do some research before you talk again.

Yes, there is actually a reason why Diamler comes before Chrysler.

They have yet to share a V6. They are developing a V6 in GERMANY that Chrysler could use. I see nothing wrong with this. It will have the greatest technology available, Direct Injection, dual variable valve timing, and etc.

FlatlineEF9, I like what you said.

And right into a Sebring!!!!!! Or better yet, maybe they can put in a PT crusier!!!!!!!! Heck, it could be a good marketing strategy for a dodge stratus, for 22 grand you can have a MB powertrain!!
