There's an interesting publication called the Wall Street Journal. It's available to you, I'm sure, but at last check it cost $1.50. You'd have to learn to read better, first. There's a LOT of big words in there. If you could, you'd find that Diamler's troubles didn't start until into their affiliation with Chrysler, and that they shed Chrysler just as much for that reason as they did for losing money. > > > That's why >>Diamler dumped Chrysler on the market for comparatively pennies.

From: charlesgrozny on 24 Feb 2010 18:44 Same here. We have owned 5 GM products, the last of which was a 95. That starts with Dad's 37 Oldsmobile which he bought in 1947. (Before that no one in the family had a car.) We've owned 1 Plymouth and 1 Dodge. We've owned 12 Toyotas. We've owned 3 Mazdas. 2 JM's and one Fazda truck. Charles Grozny

Get real! What do you mean old technology? Domestics had four speed manuals available from their European brands if they wanted to use them but small American cars had the type of tranny the majority of American preferred, automatics. The Japs were the ones using old technology, manual tyranny's. It took them years to develop a decent automatic and then only after they copied American automatics.
