Today in Berlin Dieter Zetsche (DC chairman) complained that too many choices of door handles and exterior mirrors hurt company profits, while offering scant value to buyers. Hopefully this means that the cars will be more similar in all Triad markets.

If he really wanted to increase profits, he would erase Smart, Maybach, and the R class. He could then introduce the Hemi into the Mercedes car brand and put AMG to work on Ultra High Performance vehicles.
