6

They already said it will be.

7

mercedes truck division also owns;

sterling and western star(? IIRC)

As I work for chrysler ur info is a little wrong. Chrysler was bought by cerabus(SP) which is a privatly owned company. And is now called “The New Chrysler”.

Edit: Also chrsyler/nissan just annouced a joint venture were they will each be building another car for the other company.

u forgot Proton which owns Lotus

Aren’t Rolls Rotce and Bentley conected? I’m almost positive

Actually they folded over a decade ago, and GM took over, that’s when the Elise came out.
