„Slam dunk. What are the chances that Daimler will keep the Chrysler Group by riding out the storm and then returning the car company to profitability and health? Uh, this one pegs the meter, alright - as in no frickin' way. What about the rumor that whichever company takes over the Chrysler Group that only one free agent car executive with the impeccable credentials to run it is on everyone's short list to lead the newly configured automaker?“
