These things have a way of lingering, don't they. It wouldn't surprise me if we learned there was some residual financial connection between Opel and Fiat as well. If I were Daimler, I would steer well clear of this whole mess. With five governments (U.S., Italy, Germany, Canada and Austria) now involved in the bids for Chrysler and Opel, you are going to get a very political outcome. Funny that, Mark.
