DaimlerChrysler, as the merger of Mercedes-Benz and Chrysler, has a plethora of vehicles it will be presenting at the show.
The automaker’s Mercedes-Benz branch will debut its new CL-Class, the AMG version of the S63, and the SLR McLaren 722. The automaker’s smart division will display the upcoming smart fortwo (pictured) before it goes into production.
Chrysler’s Dodge marque will display a concept car and the new Chrysler Sebring. The former is most likely the new Dodge Avenger. Finally, Chrysler’s Jeep brand will display the new Wranglers which are already on sale in the U.S.
Our take? Mercedes-Benz is banking that its new models will boost its standing in Europe where it runs third against BMW and Audi. We’re still not too sure about the smart: the brand has never sold well in Europe and yet the automaker plans to start selling the diminutive cars in SUV-heavy U.S. in the near future. Finally, we’ll be curious to see the Europe’s reaction to Dodge since DaimlerChrysler has announced its intent to market the very American brand on the Continent.
