Welcome to The Morning Sh*t! Still requires greater attention span than cable news.
1 st Wipe : US DOJ promises VW CEO Herbert Diess that he can travel for normal business without any “surprise arrests.” Although he probably wants to visit them Washington DC to claim the free boat he just won.
2 nd Wipe : Elon says he’s sorry for going Full Kanye on the investor call last week, yet still mentions flamethrowers as part of his inevitable Hank Scorpio transition.
3 rd Wipe : 30 autonomous ridesharing BMWs to hit Las Vegas and its pedestrians this summer.
4 th Wipe : Toyota preparing to build a metric ass-tonne of RAV-4 models in Canada as the vehicle becomes its best seller in the US. Trump is not angry, since he’s still unaware that Canada is not a US state.
5 th Wipe : Luxury marques in the black, will never go back. R*chers gonna rich.
Splashback : 20 years ago today Daimler and Chrysler got drunk, slept together, then tried to pretend to have a relationship for a while; their illegitimate children still show up in places like Durango suspension components and minivan Stow & Go Seating.

The late 90s E-Class rode great, so it’s not a surprise. Stick with what works! :D

I totally agree. Those cars have great ancestors.
When people go on about how bad it was, I just have to remind them that at least one good thing came out of it.

I would also say that Chrysler cars (most of them) led the rest of the domestics with Euro-style switchgear and cleaner interior designs, which continue today. There were definitely some bright spots.
And IIRC, the entire resurgence of the obnoxious muscle car (Charger, Challenger, 300C; with the competition following the trend) was due to Dr. Z pushing the company to embrace its Americanness. People forget how the predecessors were ok cars, but mediocre and forgettable.
