Thanks for all of the excellent comments. I've owned Chryslers for many years and have always liked them. I purchased one of the first 300Ms in 1999 when they were introduced and still drive it regularly with ~175,000 miles on it still GREAT (Ohio - I keep the Crossfire inside in winter). For now I'll keep the Chrysler badging as it is, keep the "powered by Mercedes-Benz" emblem under the spoiler, and keep pondering new ideas presented on this forum.
Still lookin for that spare tire though.
