I do not like the Mayflower
sinking as much as any one
else but I do not blame
Daimler Benz. I remember
reading of talk twice before
of Plymouth being discontinued
and the third time I read it
(this occurrence) was just a
short time after the merger
and it was said that talks had
been started on this before
Chrysler and Daimler started
talking merger.
Just think, Ford considered a
merger with Daimler before
Chrysler. I guess everyone
would blame the demise of
Mercury on Daimler too.
By the way, leave Iaccoca
where he is. If he was still
in charge we'd be buying
K-cars with electric bicycles
instead of spare tires.
