The title is the header of an article on Carbuzz.com: http://carbuzz.com/news/2013/4/1/Daimler-Set-to-Revive-Plymouth-Brand-7713668/ where it states:

The idea is to make Plymouth an entry-level brand for Mercedes

and:

Daimler demanded to have a clause added in the final agreement that stated any brands that could potentially be discontinued after the merger would become the sole property of Daimler.

Anyone able to validate this?

Looks like an April Fools joke. :lol:

... and a good one at that.

Especially since DBAG doesn't have any real claim to the brand now that they don't own Chrysler...

 

[marlon_jbt]

Exactly. A quick look at the USPTO website confirms that it is still live, and owned by Chrysler Group LLC.

Thanks Marlon. I've been bothered by this and did not consider it to be an AFJ.

Besides, if Plymouth was a Daimler brand, we wouldn't be allowed to park up front at work! :lol:

You need to broaden your horizons..

THIS JUST IN: Plymouth fails again because no one wanted to buy a German made car with a name associated with poopies in Europe. North American market injection also fails due to Kia and Toyota buyers not buying into a German made cheap-car.
