A 5 page paper
discussing the Mercedes Metamorphosis. Mercedes-Benz
seems to have been with us from time immemorial, but it has
only been in the last 30 years that the German parent

subsidiary. At sales of $1.7 billion in 1995, the last year for
which figures are available for this privately-held subsidiary,
Mercedes-Benz has seen success in North America, and

however, is preparatory for the heights to which Mercedes
intends to fly, beginning with the manufacture of their sports
utility vehicle in their new Alabama plant. Bibliography lists 7
