I understood the "American corporation" stuff to be an attempt to forstall Kirk Kerkorian. Perhaps not.

Or perhaps so. One might ask Mr. Kerkorian his opinion.

The "merger" documents are likely to be what one would expect when many excellent lawyers and many millions of dollars have produced them. A dazzling intricacy of interlocking parts.

I do wish the best for you at Chrysler.

Juergen Schremp is being talked about as Rick Wagoner's successor. I hear that Mr. Schremp is actually a third rate man, arbitrary and mean spirited (unlike Wolfgang Bernhard and Dieter Zietche).

I like the Tomahawk a great deal. One hears that Mr. Bernhard wanted it in production. I think it would have been a masterstroke.

Any word on the ME 412? Or are we seeing another stillborn masterpiece?

me412 is still floating around the autoshows. saw it again this year. but really.. who'd pay an half million $ for a chrysler?

Well, at this point, I am pessimistic of any real production. The latest news was that it was upgraded from concept to prototype with the American group far outpacing the Germans. But, I have not heard a word since. I think it will be one of those models that will see 100 or so off production and the paperwork filed away forever.
