Daimler recently bought Freightliner. According to a friend there, all
Daimler managers will be receiving a new Mercedes. Either they're
crushing US vehicle makers or they're crazy. ('Course, they're Germans
so it could go either way. ; )

nah, it's a cheap (for them) way for binding them to the company and
make them show identification with the company. And it also let them
talk about their company at meetings: 'look, this Benz was for free
because I work for Freightliner'. And a Mercedes is still a prestige object.
