"For Chrysler, May marked the worst month for sales in two and a half years. Overall sales, which include the Jeep and Dodge brands, dropped 14 percent on an adjusted basis, the most since a 15 percent drop in September 2003. "In a reversal of fortune for German-American automotive giant DaimlerChrysler, its business was given a boost by Mercedes. In recent years, Chrysler has propped up DaimlerChrysler's numbers while Mercedes was more of a drag on sales. In May, Mercedes-Benz sales grew 21 percent in the United States on an unadjusted basis." Craig
