"DaimlerChrysler now expects 2006 operating profit of only around $6.34 billion"Since when was 6 Billion dollars profit considered a loss? I wouldn't mind that kind of loss.

I bought my wife a 2006 Mercedes Benz E350 this spring. It is the best and most beautiful car I have ever owned. But we still use my GMC Yukon XL for trips. The kids love the room.

That's a shame, their product quality has been improving since the merger.

It's all due to the Dr. Z commercials.

I'm not shocked that it's the Chrysler group is the one bringing everything down. I've heard Chrysler has improved since the merger, but they were such POS's to begin with, they have a lot of negatives to overcome.

I'm not a big fan but sure some of that will change when the "Smart Car" comes to America. I know I'll be getting one.

I think Dr Z's commercials have gone downhill since the first one, where he was showing a reporter the advantages of Cherman engineering and ran an SUV into a wall at about 35 mph.
He asked "Any qvestions?"
Reporter says "No, I'm good."
The rest of the ads seem sort of insipid after that one.

Serves the Kraut's right.
Oh and it was Bush's fault.
