"As a general rule, most of what you can see and touch (roughly 60 percent of the total content) is American Chrysler. The other 40 percent, most of what makes it go, stop and turn, is German Mercedes-Benz"

Maybe he doesn't know the car .........as both Daimler and Chrysler pretty much shunned it
Sticker says 95% foreign origin .........car was built in Germany, by Karmann...so unless they were a part of Chrysler, and Germany is now a US territory ........don't see how it can be American Chrysler
Obviously speaking from what you've read, and you obviously haven't looked inside an SLK
