I heard this issue raised in a discussion of the Chrysler/Daimler-Benz

A family friend who retired from Chrysler shortly after the merger
was very adamant that Daimler-Benz was run by folks whose ability in
any field was totally outshone by their complete and utter arrogance
(don't want to invoke the N**i word).

Yeh, yeh, yeh. I heard the same crap about A/B in St Louis.
