Who is going to service and label sprinter

From the onset of the formation of the two organizational institutes, it was clear from the start, that there was not one management! But a synergies of company management structures in place a premeditated disaster from the start back in 1998.
Towards the end of the financial year, shareholders took action in the European courts as to the structure of the marriage of inconvenience that' is now the favorite catch cry, as to being misled on the voting of the acquisition of Chrysler. French courts are a little liken to the Spanish inquisition, "No holds bared."
In 2006 Daimler Chrysler US division reported a 1.5 billion loss , discounts of invoice pricing, zero interest if you had credit rating A, were on the go along with trying to move 128 days of inventory stocks, even today You have stock locked up, not sold in the holding yards.{Dated 2006}
Exclusion from the discounting were The Sprinter,with a range of trucks, as they were the bread of the profitable side of the companies products sold! "Or were They?''
With the Stock holder base of investors, who finance the corporations finances, it was to become evident as to collusion to collude with price fixing between countries of origin and or between boarders, this has cost the Damlier-Benz corporation millions of Euros since 1995, the last one was between The North American sector between large pricing discrepancies between Canada and the United States. NAFTA lodged a complaint under the free trade agreements with the European courts, under the anti-trade Sherman's act of price fixing and collusion to collude between boarders, with price fixing and restricting Franchises! 'To compete with The American side of the Boarders', where intimidation of threats, as to with-drawing a franchise agreement was proven."Look at the infighting with Dodge and freightliner". If the Franchise did not co-operate with DCX and Damlier-Benz depending on which franchisee was selling either Dodge or Mercedes products. It was proven! But due to the numbers of vehicles sold, the European court of Justice, was limited to handing out a slap on the wrist of a few million Euros, based on a figure of numbers of vehicles sold,that did not meet the criteria for Fraud related transactions by Corporate management CEO'S
With a further 13000 Jobs to go in The North American sector along with over one million auto workers in the N/American sector, this further erodes the confidence of Ordinary folk who now worry how to put food on the table and pay the mortgage off where there has been a 50% increase on mortgage defaults figures, in the US Housing sector in the last year.
With The announcement of the shake up in restructuring the financial side of the DCX group, shares have plummeted, as Damlier-Benz shares have increased with an expected decision that may well be foundered to 'Dumping' off the side of it's unprofitable operations mainly in the sedan manufacturing sector,speculators and future traders are having a ball.
Although the Damlier-Chrysler Division made an operating profit across the board in the N/American sector from All D.C investments 7.3 billion it's critical with the introduction of the New Sprinters and pricing today for it's continued association with the synergies of management to repair and turn around it's operating profits,with Mazda and Renault waiting in the backgrounds, like vultures looking for a quick meal,specialize in the manufacture of global small medium sized vehicles where profits lie not in a high Speed production 600HP Viper.
Mercedes is not a small car manufacture it specializes in the high end market place I guess it's saying enough is enough.

Chrysler media release Australia.
CHRYSLER'S Australian out post is convinced reports of takeover talks "have no substance" and will stick to it's task of meeting revised targets from a recovery plan unveiled last week
The plan, which cuts thousands of US jobs,"holds no negatives for us" said Damlier-Chrysler Australian spokesman David McCarthy, while an increased focus on international growth would deliver cars better suited to local buyers.
He expected revised targets for Australia to be "in-line with our ambitions"
but said "it's going to be a challenge to achieve them"
With just 16 per cent of current sales out side of the the US, the recovery plan aims to double global volume to 400,000 by the turn of the decade with 20 new vehicles and 13 face lifted models in Australia. Chrysler plans to double sales of it's three brands to 20,000 over the next two years with a roll out of at ;least 15 new or revised products.
This year alone, that will include three new Jeeps, a second Dodge model and two versions of the mid-size Chrysler Sebring.
" We've got a tough task ahead of us in the next couple of years" __it is our ambition for the Chrysler group to be a top 10 player in terms of sales " Mr McCarthy said"
"The recovery plan will help us do that because it focus the vehicles being produced ones that will be more successful in this country, there are products coming in 2008 that will be very solid for us and will provide growth that previously may not have been coming"
He said Australia was already one of the top ten international markets for the Chrysler group, and the local operation was performing well "We make a good contribution _ To profitability We punch above our weight. and run a lean operation. "he said"
With most of Chrysler vehicles built in the US, The Australian subsidiary benefited from bilateral free trade agreements which meant imports escape tariffs.
The new models , which begin arriving next month with the new generation Jeep wrangler and the new model Compass, would be "aggressively priced" to win buyers.
In last week's recovery plan the company detailed 13000 job cuts and a 400.000 reduction in production capacity following a $US 1.5 billion ($AU1.8 billion) loss by Chrysler last year.
The plan set a goal of returning to profit next year, but rumors that Damlier Chrysler would jettison the American company centered on an admission by chairman Dieter Zetsche "that all options are on the table"
Mr Mc Carthy poured cold water on the reports.
"There is nothing coming to me officially or unofficially that any of those rumors have substance" he said, although he admitted collaboration between the two on future models was possiable.
top level talks with General Motors over the future of Chrysler are thought to have started last December, although neither company will comment on the timing of the first meeting.
This week Times, London reported that an auction process for Chrysler had already began with information packs being sent out to potential buyers.
Speculation has linked Chrysler with Renault-Nissan, Hyundai, and Shanghai Automotive Industry Corporation and Chery in China.It is expected to be worth about US$ 7Billion.

Editorial Notation: With thought to watching and to reading reports based on fact and Myth the above narration from the Australian executive is the most factual information to date, as it alinement's to the fact the Damlier Chrysler Group is not about Dumping of a $36 million investment for one million at a fire sale. rather it is looking to alliances with other manufactures to cut costings by sharing technology and to future global growth in a very un easy market.
China is a large growth market Mercedes and Chrysler can provide vehicles for this market via licensing agreements with Chinese manufactures , this allows a competitive edge with Copy right design within China.
Merging with GM to share engine and SUV'S makes, reduce costings towards alliances, lessens competition , as to discounting "thus semi controlling prices that are economically viable"
Mercedes has an agreement with BMW and the VW group to share similar programs with each others makes, it does make sense.
In Australia Chrysler Vehicles are sold via the GM network of franchisees holders, it's worked well over the last ten years as to increasing sales and no losses.
