Thought Mercedes is owned by Dodge so what are they saying ...

You've got that backward... Daimler-Benz [parent company of Mercedes] bought the Chrysler Corporation [parent company of Dodge].
The company is now called DaimlerChrysler.

I suspect the sharing of technology is having a negative effect on Mercedes quality but a positive effect on Chrysler. Long term I have never been impressed with Chrysler products. A brother-in-law has worked at Chrysler for 20+ years and buys GM.

As for British cars, wish they would bring them back. They are trickling in. Jaguar is much better. Started in the late 70's when they got out from under the British Leyland disaster. Ford has helped quality. Mini is back under BMW. There have been rumors of Austin-Healey. MG is doing well in Europe and the new cars look good.
