Things looking up for Mercedes?
From USAToday, July 28, 2005
"DaimlerChrysler CEO Juergen Schrempp, the architect of the 1998 merger that married Daimler-Benz to Chrysler, will leave the company by the end of the year and turn over the reins to Dieter Zetsche, now head of the U.S.-based Chrysler Group, the company said Thursday."
It also said that DC stock went up 10% in Frankfurt after the announcement was made. Juergen Schrempp is really loved!

Not to change the subject, but the R-Class has two recent and interesting writeups. The first is by Dan Neil in the LA Times:
http://www.latimes.com/classified/au...autos-highway1
(registration required - he made much of its size but still liked it: "TAKEN on its own, the R-class is a pretty wonderful piece of machinery.")
The second is in today's WSJ, page D1 ($ required for online access), as part of a story about new directions for luxury brands. I would take whatever the WSJ article says with several grains of salt since the author, Stephen Power, thinks that the BMW 645 has four doors.

I would like to read the WSJ item but am not inclined to pay for it. I am sure someone will post it eventually. I have 5 Reviews on the W251 forum from the leading automobile mags if anyone is interested.
