additionally, there are NO MB parts in the Charger, Magnum, and 300. there are parts that are derivatives of MB parts, but that's as close as it gets. there are guys at Allpar that will back this up with a passion. if the search over there didn't suck i'd post proof.
Not entirely correct there.
The 300, Charger and Magnum (technically a 300 wagon and sold as such in Europe) uses the E-Class rear suspension, ESP, wire harness, 300C's tranny, steering column and the AWD uses the Mercedes 4-Matic system (adjusted slightly differently).
Pacifica also had the same E-Class rear axel and suspension elements and also has some MB components here and there.
All-in-all, the LX platform (300, Charger, Magnum) is officially quoted to have 20% MB parts (same article also specifies Crossfire has 40% MB parts, so scale the conservative statement appropriately) and should also be noted that the Chrysler chief engineer, Burke Brown, was quoted that a few parts are "straight out the Benz bin".
And if "allpar" provides sufficient proof, the above is also quoted in an Allpar page.
