Mmm, new one to me. Could be interesting!

I'd be surprised, but stranger things have happened.

Chrysler and Mercedes (Daimler AG) split a about a year ago and I doubt Chrysler would have been left with the contract?? Any more info??

I'd forgotten that they split. In that case chrysler wouldn't have had anything to do with the current contract.
