Funny thing is, in recent tests Chrysler products are getting SLAMMED for their lousy 5-speed automatic transmissions. That is, the MERCEDES 5-speed transmission that they are still required to use under contract. Even this long after the merger broke up, Mercedes is still raking Mopar over the coals. The 4th-Gen Viper? Stolen, it's the Mercedes SLS AMG now.
I would buy an Audi, a BMW, a Porsche, etc. I would not buy a Mercedes after what they did to my favorite American brand.
Lousiest.Commercial.Ever. And Mercedes-Benz makes cars for people who HATE cars, don't know a THING about cars and don't want to know anything about cars.
Actually you need to look deeper. The Transmission and the rear 5 link are NOT the only Mercedes parts in the LX platform. The electronics, the entire steering column, ESP system and much more. Platform sharing at it's best.

@elpgr Then explain why Jeremy Clarkson, the main host of my favorite show, Top Gear, a car enthusiast himself, is a fan of Mercedes.

The suspension and the transmission is the ONLY German stuff. BUT the transmission is made in Kokomo, Indiana. So is that American too?
