Re: Mercedes still may profit from Chrysler

The bit about Chrysler being silent is an OLD joke....

Of course German Daimler is pronounced "dimelur".  "Ai" is a diphthong 
pronounced as in "I" or "eye".

The English Daimler is pronounced "damelur", however.  Once a subsidiary
of 
German Daimler it separated long ago.
