The history of Chrysler Corporation is actually already over. Quite
recently Chrysler united with Daimler-Benz and this way Daimler-Chrysler
Corporation was formed. This way Chrysler partially lost its independence,
although it didn’t loose its individuality. Still the great past of this
corporation is really worth studying. During several years of its
existence Chrysler managed to enter the Great Three and took its stand in
it firmly.

Today Chrysler is taking the third place among enterprises producing
American cars after Ford and General Motors. The cars of such famous
brands as Chrysler, Dodge, Plymouth, Eagle, and of course Jeep enjoy
remarkable popularity among the costumers. Their product market is mainly
Nirth America, but it’s worth mentioning that more and more cars of
Chrysler brand appear in post-Soviet Byelorussia and Russia. How did
Chrysler manage to achieve such great success in a couple of years after

greatest firms are not based on original solutions or outstanding
services, these things are just secondary, since the key factor of success
is the firm’s founders and management. So speaking about Chrysler, we can’t
but mention the person this company was named after, the person that
basically gave birth to the company, Walter Chrysler. Walter was born in
1875. He had the following career: since 17 he was an engine’s driver’s

Cool? Scarce?

How about "common knowledge." At least to any Mopar fan who's bothered
to pick up one of hundreds of books on the automotive industry that have
been published over the last 50+ years....

Sorry to say so, but Chrysler was taken over be DB, it wasn't a merger.
Chrysler lost a lot, particularly when many top level Chrysler left
because they couldn't stand being directed from Germany.
Many Chrysler car designs are now dictated by part sharing with Mercedes.

And which "So What?" test does this pass?

It's ok for American companies to buy up companies around the world but not
ok for non-US companies to acquire units in the US?

Do I detect a touch of hypocrisy?

Nope, just providing info for those USA people so hung up on negativity
to "foreign" vehicles. Many don't seem to appreciate how foreign the big
3 have become or how domestic the foreign brands have become.
FYI I've owned 3 VWs as well as UK, Japanese and NA vehicles from GM and
Chrysler.
Being in Canada I love it when someone buys a USA company. They buy up
so much of Canada.
I will admit I'm not fond of the big German Air Force wing on the front
of many recent Chrysler vehicles. <
