Many people actually thought Chrysler bought Mercedes. Fat chance. Shows you the poor choices that are made under poor leadership. Can't remember the guy before Dieter Zetsche, but whatever his name is, he really screwed things up trying to improve profits, probably the most damaging time in the the otherwise prestigious Mercedes Benz history. Thank God for Dr Z though!! Yeah, that Chrysler deal was a nightmare of note. Many people actually thought Chrysler bought Mercedes. Fat chance.

The only benefit that I see for Merc is probably cost sharing. Especially when it comes to the high-end models. Daimler has to develop so many new parts and technologies for cars such as the Maybach and SLR, so if they can share some of the cost with Aston, then that would be perfectly fine. Not sure, we'll just have to wait, but I am sure Daimler won't go with something if there is nothing in for them, well except the marriage to Chrysler, but that's a different story :) You are right Reg, It doesn’t seem like Mercedes is getting too much out of this deal, but like I say in the post, we have to wait for the September issue of CAR Mag to learn more about the deal.

I can see where Aston benefits, but what does Aston do better than Mercedes? Astons are what they are because of their looks and their branding as a classy, sophisticated gentleman's car, not because of engineering or technological success. As far as I know, the only thing that Aston can contribute is styling, but then you'd have a Mercedes that looks like an Aston. Can something show me where Mercedes benefits in this? Ok, and the benefit the Mercedes is….??
