Lots of parts are starting to go into the next generation Chryslers from Mercedes.
The Pacifica uses insterments and controls designed by Mercedes, as is the rear suspension.
The Crossfire uses a Mercedes V6, transmission and suspension.
The quality of parts for the new LX platform will be alot better. A Mercedes five-speed automatic transmission, plus the suspension, axle, seats and electronics, will be used on the LX.
With the LX cars going RWD, Chrysler is worried people have forgot how to drive a big sedan in slippery conditions.
