MB did not have a clue how to produce a cheaper car, so the brief merger gave them what they though they wanted. When MB found out the lower production costs was an accounting game like a short skirt and a low cut top, they dumped Chrysler.
Fiat lacks the knowledge on how to sell cars in North American Market which accounts for half of the worlds sales.
Chrysler does not know how to make a smaller car that is great to own which can be documented by the Affair they had with Mitsubishi for many years. As we all know, Mitsubishi broke up the Affair they had with Chrysler.
What a SOAP OPERA
Will Proctor and Gamble buy them both out next

Actually it was Daimler that decided to dump Mitsu. Might have had something to do with the Mitsu executive hooker scandal - don't know. Maybe it's because their cars weren't any good.
Daimler never wanted to produce a cheaper car - it 'dilutes the brand image.' All they wanted was money - and they took a TON of it. When it was all gone - they sold out to a corporate chop shop who announced they were 'In it for the long haul.' (1.76 years) They too were only in it for the money. Notice how Chrysler Financial kind of disappeared? Now you finance your Chrysler vehicles through GMAC (owned by guess who?)
Comparing Chrysler to a hooker is interesting - considering that many of them woldwide are also slaves to their pimps and all the profit goes to someone else. Unfortunately she's getting old that things are starting to sag...
