shrugs shoulders I like it. I hope it's smart-based, which would mean it's mid-engined/RWD.

The sketches made it look better than it is. :-(

If the MPG is 50, I'll buy it.

This, and the diametrically-opposed ME412... an era when Chrysler could have been a world-beater global brand, with aspirational and revolutionary cars... they just shrugged and pumped out garbage. ...though, that could have less to do with Chrysler management being spineless and more with them being bled dry by Daimler-Benz and then having their lifeless body chucked in a gutter.

#5, I thought it was the opposite, because the W211 (developed under DaimlerChrysler) as well as the ML are two of the most unreliable Mercedes built. Same goes for the W203 C-Class, and the fact that Mercedes stopped production of the I6 and went to the V6 didn't help matters.

#6, Oh, Mercedes' unreliability started before they merged with Chrysler. They stopped "over-engineering" their cars in the early '90s... basically, they needed to cut costs on their own cars... then they saw Chrysler, who had raked in beaucoup bucks with their minivans, compacts, and LH cars in the '80s and early '90s, and acted like it was a merger of equals, when all they really did is do some "token" cross-engineering, and bled dry Chrysler's coffers.

#7, ah okay. I assumed the scenario because I know the W211 started being developed in the early 2000s. But yeah it seems that 2000-2010 was a dark age for Mercedes as well as Chrysler. And for Ford and GM, too, for that matter.

I believe with Mercedes it really started with the 1996 W210 E-Class.

#9, Possibly, yes. I do know that most W210s are in junkyards by now, but I assumed that was more due to rust then anything else.
