Daimler did own Chrysler from 1998-2009
NO Mercedes Benz is a part of Chrysler. Daimler - Chrysler.
No, it is a Chrysler; it was built to compete with Mercedes and therefore resembles them in some ways.
Other way around. Mercedes bought Chrysler in May of 1998.
The ones i can think of off hand are : Chrysler, Dodge, Plymoth, Jeep, Eagle, Mercedes-Benz, Maybach, and i think there may be a few more. Hope this helps ~Brian
Chrysler merged with Mercedes Benz in 1998 but was sold in 2007 severing all ties with Mercedes Benz. The Italian auto company Fiat now owns majority interest in Chrysler LLC. The only relationship left is that Chrysler still buys some parts from Mercedes for the 2003-2009 Sprinter vans.
2007
DCX, Daimler Chrysler. Chrysler was owned by Daimler Benz, Mercedes, in 1999.
Chrysler who owns the Jeep brand merged with Daimler-Benz in 1998. Mercedes sold their interest in Chrysler and Jeep in 2007. Chrysler & Jeep are now partially owned Fiat. The company is called Chrysler LLC.
Actually it was Mercedes that bought Chrysler in 98/99 - to their cost, as they underestimated the huge scale of getting the ramshackle operation that was (is) Chrysler up to modern European standards. Ultimately, the cost of doing so, which meant investing Mercedes profits into Chrysler retooling meant falling technical standards for Mercedes (as cost control measures were put into place in MB plants) which pissed off MB buyers, and a collapse in the group's profits - to result in trading losses for the first time ever, which pissed off the group's shareholders. So in 2007, Mercedes management did the decent thing and sold the dinosaur US company off to a vulture fund for about $1.
Mercedes, Lexus, Acura, and Audi answer Daimler Chrysler's Mercedes Benz is the biggest competitor of BMW.
Chrysler is its own company and makes its own cars.
